Least Valuable Position Player

Maikel Franco

The RBIs are there, very little else is. Franco struggled once again at the plate recording just four hits in 25 at bats. Franco is an enigma at this point, and it’s becoming a concern for the future.

Franco is on pace to hit 28 home runs this year, and he is just 24 but the average needs to improve if he wants to succeed at the Major League level.

This is Franco’s first LVPP Award of the season.

Least Valuable Pitcher

Edubray Ramos

No words, just video.

This is Ramos’ first LVP award of the season.
