1. Christian Yelich
Christian Yelich had already won a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove Award coming into the 2018 season, as it seemed like he had already met his full potential at the big-league level.
Then Yelich got traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, where he became the league’s Most Valuable Player.
Yelich won the batting title by hitting .326 with 36 home runs, 22 stolen bases and 110 RBI, all of which were career-highs.
