The 2019 AL MVP award is down to three MLB players: Alex Bregman, Mike Trout, and Marcus Semien. Who comes out on top? Let’s take a closer look.

Now that the season has ended, the hot stove has just begun. With the beginning of the hot stove season comes award season as well. Next week, all of the big awards will be announced. Yesterday, all of the award finalists were announced. At Call to the Pen, we’re going to take a look at the different awards and the finalists announced for it. In this space, we are going to take a look at the 2019 American League MVP.

Some of the best players in the game’s history have taken home this award. Miguel Cabrera. Mickey Mantle. Frank Robinson. Alex Rodriguez. Greats of the game past and present have added to the legacy of the AL MVP.

The three players who are finalists are looking to add their names to the legacy of the American League MVP. One player has already won this award. One player could very well win it this year and in the future. One player had a season that went quite under the radar, but in watching him day in and day out, you could see how deserving he was to be a part of the conversation. Either way, all three of these players had fantastic seasons and were a part of what made the 2019 season enjoyable.

So who will take home the 2019 American League MVP? What player will add to their legacy and the legacy of the award? Let’s take a look at the three finalists’ 2019 campaigns. In the end, I will select my choice for who should win the award.
