Freeman received 28 of the 30 first-place votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts got the other two firsts to finish second, and San Diego Padres third baseman Manny Machado was third.

The Atlanta Braves star battled COVID-19 earlier this year.

"It impacted me pretty hard," Freeman said.

Twins right-hander Kenta Maeda finished second in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, followed by Toronto Blue Jays left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu.

Trevor Bauer has won the National League Cy Young award, the first member of the Cincinnati Reds to earn the honor.

deGrom had won the award the last two seasons.

Bauer went 5-4 with an NL-best 1.73 ERA in 11 starts, helping the Reds reach the playoffs for the first time since 2013. Animated on the field and outspoken off it, the 29-year-old right-hander struck out 100 in 73 innings and led the majors with two shutouts, a pair of seven-inning performances on doubleheader days.

Seattle Mariners center fielder Kyle Lewis has won the American League Rookie of the Year award in a unanimous vote.

Lewis, 25, received all 30 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He is the 12th unanimous winner of the award.

"It's just a great first step for me, and being in that category, it's just really special," he said.

He hit .259/.363/.438 with 11 home runs and five stolen bases in 57 games.

Milwaukee Brewers reliever Devin Williams has been named the National League Rookie of the Year.

Williams, 26, went 4-1 with a 0.33 ERA, striking out 53 in just 27 innings.
