As a lifetime IBWAA member, I’m privileged to vote for the annual postseason awards. IBWAA ballots were sent in mid-September and closed at the end of the month. I turned in my ballot towards the end of the deadline. I thought about announcing my picks in early October but decided to wait until MLB announced its own awards finalists on the MLB Network.
Voters were asked to select the following:
-
Most Valuable Player: 1st place through 10th place
-
Cy Young: 1st place through 5th place
-
Rookie of the Year: 1st place through 5th place
-
Manager of the Year: 1st place through 3rd place
-
Reliever of the Year: 1st place through 3rd place
