It was a special year for San Diego Padres‘ outfielder and first baseman Wil Myers. Pounding out a career high 155 hits in 157 games, the 25-year-old proved to fans that he is a budding offensive superstar. Now, as the accolades continue to mount, Myers is up for one of the league’s most coveted award, the Hank Aaron Award.
This honor goes to the top player on offense in each league, decided by fan vote. There is a representative from each major league roster in the list of finalists, including some very formidable opposition to Myers.
