2016 Central League Most Valuable Player Award

From BR Bullpen

(Redirected from 2016 Central League MVP)

The 2016 Central League Most Valuable Player Award was much closer than the 2016 Pacific League MVP vote. While only two players got first-place votes in the PL MVP race, seven players from the champion Hiroshima Carp all got first-place votes over in the CL and no one got even half the first-place votes, with veteran slugger Takahiro Arai taking the award.
