As one can see, the chart above is topped with many familiar and expected offensive power names. Giancarlo Stanton tops the list with a very laudable 0.711 OPR. However, despite the vast amount of perennial offensive powers atop the list, there are both newcomers and resilient veterans who meandered their way in. These "on-the-rise" and "comeback" players have their names highlighted in green. From my analysis of this list, I will make some projections for 2014 award winners:
AL MVP: Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels
NL MVP: Giancarlo Stanton, Miami Marlins (Clayton Kershaw is a very strong contender for this award. However, I am only considering offensive players for the sake of this post.)
AL Rookie of the Year: Jose Abreu, Chicago White Sox
NL Rookie of the Year: Billy Hamilton, Cincinnati Reds (I am 99.9% sure it will be Mets pitcher, Jake deGrom, who wins the award, but I just wanted to provide an offensive prediction.)
The next list I am providing, includes the hitters who did not qualify for their respective leagues batting title, due to a lack of at-bats. I sought to provide some recognition for players who either might have been either hurt or called up mid-season. Thus, the proceeding rankings were constructed in the same manner as the first chart, according to OPR.

Once again, after analyzing the list, I took the liberty of highlighting both some promising young players and undervalued players. Atop the list sits Troy Tulowitzki, with an MLB leading 0.736 OPR. If it was not for his inclination to get hurt, Tulowitzki would be a perennial contender for the NL MVP award. As you can see, one of the highlighted names on the list is Jarrod Dyson. I have both mentioned and analyzed him several times prior to this post and each time I always iterate how incredibly undervalued he is. He has been an integral part of the (now 2014 American League Champions) Kansas City Royals the entire season.
