Lunch Break Baseball’s 2021 Daily Awards Results

The 2021 season is over. Each day, Lunch Break Baseball awarded one position player and one pitcher who turned in the best performance. Sometimes a guy will hit two bombs and knock in four runs, but lose out to another guy who slugged a pair of homers, but stole a bag and threw out a runner at home plate. Then the next day a player might win with a solo shot and a couple doubles. That is the beauty of Daily Awards. No two days are the same, so the guys who rack up wins are the ones who usually dominate games for the better part of the season.

It also cuts both ways. Some of the players who brought us the greatest performances of the season also gave us some of the biggest let downs. Fernando Tatís Jr. took home the position player title this year, but we all know his defensive game was inconsistent at best this year. Gerrit Cole won the most out of the pitchers, but was not the same after he won his 7th and final POD.

So here is the full list of every player who took home a Lunch Break Baseball Daily Award. Until next season!
