2021 Illinois MVP
Going against what I initially thought as a no brainer and choosing
2B Zak Chambers over
RF Dan Allen In just 126 games, Chambers tallied a team high 5.7 WAR. Even with all that time missed Chambers was 2nd in the FL in hits with 197 and led the FL with his impressive .359 Avg.
Chambers excellent fielding is what gave him the edge to me for team MVP. Among FL 2B Chambers finished 1st and 2nd in Zone Rating and Defensive Efficiency respectively.
Doing my research I also found it very intriguing that Chambers only Grounded into just 1 Double play in 566 PA
Chambers has increased his WAR every year since he got the call up in 2017, and at just 24 years old it will be interesting to see what he can do in the next few years!!
