🗳️ MVP, Rookie of the Year, Golden Glove

These three awards are decided by a media vote, so they cannot be settled by arithmetic. This site does not estimate probabilities and does not predict the winners. Instead it shows the numbers that actually move the vote: multiple title leads and the team's standing.

  • 김도영 (KIA · team 4th) — leads Home runs · Runs (2 titles on pace)
  • 곽빈 (Doosan · team 5th) — leads ERA · Strikeouts (2 titles on pace)

Limits of these numbers

  • These are sums of game-by-game box scores. 600 games were aggregated as of September 5, 2026, and the batting averages, ERAs and won–lost records of the leaders match the season totals the feed reports. Retroactive scoring corrections can briefly diverge from official records.
  • The plate-appearance minimum is approximate. True plate appearances include hit-by-pitches and sacrifices, which this feed omits, so we approximate with at-bats plus walks. It undercounts, so borderline players may qualify differently in reality.
  • On-base and slugging percentage are not shown: hit-by-pitches, sacrifices, doubles and triples are absent from the feed, so they cannot be computed exactly. What cannot be computed is not published.
  • End-of-season projections assume the current pace continues. They are not predictions and ignore injuries, rest and opponents.
