Most Valuable Pitcher
Pat Neshek (+9 points)
As the Phillies only All Star representative, Neshek was the easy choice for MVP. The right sideslinger is 2-2 with an astounding 1.27 ERA in 38 games this season all while maintaining a WHIP under 1.00.
The only downside to Neshek?
He’ll be gone by the end of July.

Runner Up
Aaron Nola (+4 points)
Nola is starting to become what we thought he would be. After an excellent June and early July, Nola now holds a 6-6 record and 3.59 ERA. Nola leads all starters in WHIP, wins and strikeouts.
