The National League Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is given annually to the top-performing player in Major League Baseball's National League. This prestigious honor recognizes a player's outstanding achievements during the regular season, including their contributions to their team's success. The MVP is selected through a voting process involving sportswriters and broadcasters from across the country. Criteria for the award include individual statistics, overall impact on the team, and leadership qualities. The winner is announced at the end of the regular season, and the award has been presented since 1931, making it one of the most coveted accolades in baseball.
