It’s unanimous: Awards week is over and the finale featured two more players sweeping the first-place votes. Yordan Alvarez and Pete Crow-Armstrong won their first MVP Awards to cap off two outstanding seasons.

Here’s a look at seven stats and facts to contextualize this year’s MVP winners.

⚾ There have now been 26 unanimous MVPs awarded (since the BBWAA began voting in 1931, which is when the history of the award begins). This is just the third time that both winners were selected unanimously. It also happened in 2024, with Shohei Ohtani and Aaron Judge, and in 2023, with Ohtani and Ronald Acuña Jr.

⚾ Remember Wednesday night? Both Cam Schlittler and Jacob Misiorowski won their Cy Young Awards unanimously, too. This is the first time that both MVPs and both Cy Youngs were unanimous in the same year. These four left no doubt.

⚾ One more connection with Cy Young and MVP worth noting: youth. With Misiorowski, Schlittler and Crow-Armstrong, this is the second time at least three of the MVP and Cy Young winners were under the age of 26 at the end of the season, joining 1985, with Don Mattingly, Bret Saberhagen and Dwight Gooden.

⚾ Speaking of that youth: Crow-Armstrong was 24 years and 186 days old on the final day of the regular season. That makes him the fifth-youngest unanimous MVP, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The only four younger were 2015 Bryce Harper (22y 353d), 2014 Mike Trout (23y 52d), 1988 Jose Canseco (24y 92d) and 1968 Denny McLain (24y 184d).

⚾ Cubs players have now won 10 MVP Awards since the BBWAA began voting in 1931. Crow-Armstrong joins 2016 Kris Bryant, 1998 Sammy Sosa, 1987 Andre Dawson, 1984 Ryne Sandberg, 1959 Ernie Banks, 1958 Banks, 1952 Hank Sauer, 1945 Phil Cavarretta and 1935 Gabby Hartnett. Crow-Armstrong is the first of those to win unanimously.

⚾ Alvarez is the Astros’ third MVP, joining 2017 Jose Altuve and 1994 Jeff Bagwell. Alvarez is Houston’s second unanimous winner, along with Bagwell. The Astros slugger became the fourth Cuban-born player to win MVP, joining 2020 José Abreu, 1988 Canseco and 1965 Zoilo Versalles. Three of them also won Rookie of the Year: Alvarez, Abreu and Canseco.

⚾ Alvarez is also the second primary designated hitter to win MVP honors. He played 25 games in the field this season, the second MVP to play fewer than 90 fielding games excluding pitchers, two-way Ohtani (2021, ’23, ’25) and the 2020 season. Only 2024 Ohtani played fewer, with zero in his only MVP season where he didn’t pitch.
