Kris Bryant became the 20th player overall and the 11th in the National League to win the award by a unanimous vote. The others: Frank Robinson, Orlando Cepeda, Willie McCovey, Vince Coleman, Benito Santiago, Mike Piazza, Raul Mondesi, Scott Rolen, Albert Pujols and Craig Kimbrel. The nine American League unanimous winners: Carlton Fisk, Mark McGwire, Sandy Alomar Jr., Tim Salmon, Derek Jeter, Nomar Garciaparra, Evan Longoria, Mike Trout and Jose Abreu.

It marked the second consecutive year that Chicago had a unanimous winner with Bryant’s victory following that of Abreu with the White Sox. That happened for San Francisco with the Giants’ Cepeda in 1958 and McCovey in 1959 and for Los Angeles with the Dodgers’ Piazza in 1993 and Mondesi in 1994.

Bryant is the seventh third basemen in the NL and the 11th overall to win the award. The others in the NL: Rolen, Dick Allen, Tommy Helms, Bob Horner, Chris Sabo and Ryan Braun. The four in the AL: Gil McDougald, John Castino, Eric Hinske and Longoria.

It is the sixth time a Cubs player has been honored. The others were Billy Williams, Ken Hubbs, Jerome Walton, Kerry Wood and Geovanny Soto.

Bryant was the only player named on all ballots.
