These awards were chosen by in-person clubhouse balloting of all MLB players in September.
Fans celebrated Liam Hendriks' win as AL Comeback Player of the Year. The Cubs closer announced his cancer diagnosis in January and announced he was in remission in April. He made his comeback in May and recorded a save in a 3-2 win over the Yankees on June 6 before he was sidelined by a UCL injury.
Gunnar Henderson was named the AL Outstanding Rookie after becoming the first Oriole to top 20 doubles, five triples, 20 home runs and 10 stolen bases in his debut season, per MLBPA.
His win had fans calling for the Orioles to extend Henderson's rookie contract.
Cubs fans made similar pleas to the Cubs regarding Bellinger, the NL Comeback Player of the Year who just finished a one-year deal in Chicago and is expected to opt out of his 2024 mutual option.
Fans will now wait for the Baseball Writers' Association of America Awards on January 28, when the MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year honors will be awarded.
