For Harper, the Nats' dynamic, 23-year-old right fielder, the Esurance Awards, announced by hosts Brian Kenny and Dan Plesac on MLB Network and MLB.com last November, came on the heels of his unanimous 2015 National League Most Valuable Player Award. On Tuesday, he was given the actual hardware to add to his collection.
"It's an honor to get these awards, but now, I'm all about putting 2015 behind me and concentrating on 2016," Harper said. "For me, it's all about getting the at-bats and getting on base and trying to build on last year."
Harper's 2015 was nothing short of remarkable.
