2015 ALCS MVP: Kansas City v. Washington DC

The 2015 Stroh's ALCS MVP Award goes to....

SP JUAN YANEZ, KC. Round of Applause.

All things considered, KC's from an individual perspective no player really shined for KC in this series. Instead the continuing postseason disappointments of Kenny Etchells and Gilberto Munoz were the larger story. Yanez's role in the 4-3 series vicory should not be diminished though it was hardly legendary. Yanez took the mound in Game 1 and managed to pitch 8.0 IP, allowing 6 hits and 4 runs, racking up 8 Ks. Despite a solid performance, Yanez would not get the win as KC had to go into extra innings to claim victory. Yanez returned in Game 4 and again pitched well, going 6.1 IP with 4 hits and 2 ER, totaling 8 Ks. This time Yanez did get a decision, a loss. With the series on the line in Game 7, KC once again turned to Yanez and this performance won him the MVP. Yanez went 7.0 IP, 3 hits, 0 runs, and 6 Ks to get the W. Each time Yanez took the mound he gave KC a good shot at winning. His Game 7 performance propelled them into the World Series. Congrats Yanez, congrats.
