The MLB Players Choice Awards 2022 were announced, and only two Dodgers were nominated for major awards. One of them was Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman for National League Outstanding Player of the Year.
And the other Boy in Blue is Julio Urias, who was nominated for National League Outstanding Pitcher; however, Urias came up short as Miami Marlins All-Star Sandy Alcantara was voted for the award.
Alcantara also beat out Arizona Dimonbacks righty Zac Gallen.
The Marlins ace posted his best season as a pro posting a 2.28 ERA, 207 strikeouts, 0.98 WHIP, with a 14-9 record in 32 starts and 228.
