With the 2019 MLB regular season a little more than a week away we begin looking forward. And one of the speculations that are made during this time before the season commences is who will reign at the end of the season. And with that in mind, we give our end of the year award predictions for the National League.
The awards that will be predicted will be the standard year-end awards of MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year. As well as each positions Gold Glove and Silver Slugger winners. And as fans of Major League Baseball, make up your own predictions and see how many predictions you get correct at the end of the season. We will list the players for each section.
