Jackie Bradley, Jr. won the ALCS MVP Award:
One of the keys throughout the series for the Red Sox was their production with two outs, and no one produced more in those situations than Jackie Bradley Jr., who was named ALCS MVP despite having only three hits in 15 at-bats. But he made those three hits count: a three-run double in Game 2, a grand slam in Game 3 and a go-ahead two-run homer in Game 4.
Bradley did not have a hit in nine plate appearances with no outs or one out, but was 3-for-6 with two home runs, a double and nine RBIs when batting with two outs.
Bradley’s nine RBIs with two outs tied for the second-most ever in a postseason series, trailing only Yogi Berra‘s 10 RBIs in the 1956 World Series.
Bradley’s blows were crushing, so this is a well deserved situational MVP award.
