SASL 2020 regular season was different. And yet, despite the unique challenges of playing amid a pandemic, there were those who found a way to stand out among their peers. The SASL award races will be as close as ever this year — the smaller sample size allowed multiple candidates to stand out as contenders for most end-of-season honors.
Let’s take a look below at the candidates for the 3 major awards (MVP, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year). This is a regular season award, so the voting will take place before Sunday and the winners will be announced next week.
