Buster Posey Wins NL Comeback Player Of The Year
3 years agoSan Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey was named the National League Comeback Player of the Year on Monday. Posey had one of his best seasons since winning the MVP in 2012 after he sat out for all of the 2020 season due to concerns over COVID-19. The Giants had the best record in baseball in 2021 with 107 wins, thanks in large part to Posey, who hit .304 with 18 home runs, 56 RBI and an .889 OPS. Before retiring following the World Series, Posey became the team's career playoff hits leader with 57, and he has also played the most postseason games in franchise history with 58. Back in 2019, he hit a career-low .257 with only seven home runs and a .688 OPS. On top of this award, Posey was named the NL Silver Slugger at catcher for the fifth time and was an All-Star for the seventh time in his illustrious career.
