After a season in which he led the St. Louis Cardinals with a .306 batting average, .931 OPS, 95 runs, and 25 stolen bases, Tommy Pham is being recognized as the team’s candidate for the Hank Aaron Award. Established in 1999 to recognize the top offensive performer in each league, the Hank Aaron Award is chosen by fan vote and a panel of Hall of Fame members.

Pham was also the first Cardinal to have at least 20 home runs (23) and 20 doubles (22) in the same season since Reggie Sanders did so in 2004. He also led St. Louis with 40 multi-hit games.
Voting is open through October 13th at MLB.com.
If selected, Pham would become only the second St. Louis Cardinals player to win the award, as Albert Pujols took the honors in 2009.
