As well-documented by this point, 2020 was very short. However, we want to recognize these young men on their abbreviated seasons that were still successful.

WHAT’S NEXT? We’ll take our nominee group down to a finalist pool.

NEW FOR 2020: BLITZ will pick a finalist group, and then have another group for the “FAN VOTE FINALIST” to be included for consideration for Player of the Year. Be on the lookout for that.
