This is a new video part of my new series called "Side Quests." This video is a shorter, non-narrative-driven focus on a simpler baseball topic than my long-form videos. These videos will be around 10-15 minutes long and feature much less editing than I usually do. It's something new I thought I'd try to fill in the gaps between long wait times for my releases. In this iteration of Side Quests, I'll be going over my predictions for MLB's MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year Awards. Preseason predictions for awards in Major League Baseball could go horribly, but I thought I'd give my best predictions for each league.

Skubal was a crazy call
Only thing I disagree on is Yamamoto. With Chourio being added to the roster, I think we will see something similar to Yoshida and Senga last year. I personally think Senga should have won the roty, but he was older and already had high level experience. I think some voters will look at Yamamoto and see him as not being a “true” rookie. I also see him as having an ERA north of 4 which isn’t roty material.
I respect that! I don’t feel like Senga lost the RotY because of experience though, I think it’s just because Carroll put up such a monster year. With Ohtani winning RotY in 2018 and Ichiro in the 2001, I feel like highly regarded Japanese players don’t usually face scrutiny for having pro experience.
To piggy back off the Langford pick I think he'll hit 40 taters. The bat is unreal from the kid
40 is unlikely but not impossible
@@canaanlocke4375 only takes 7 a month. He hit 10 in 44 games in the minors last year. On pace for 36 over 162
It would be tough to hit that, but I certainly can’t say I disagree. His bat is an insane talent.
