Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant has been voted the National League MVP -- capping off a stellar season for the 24-year-old.
Bryant received 29 of a possible 30 first-place votes; Washington Nationals second baseman Daniel Murphy was the runner-up.
Bryant was arguably the best offensive player on the best team in the game and showed exceptional defensive versatility by playing in both the infield and the outfield.
Bryant hit .292 with 39 homers and 102 RBIs in just his second year in the majors, helping the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908.
Bryant led the National League with a 7.67 WAR and was the only NL player in the top 10 in that category. He also ranked third in the NL in home runs (39), fourth in OPS (.939) and sixth in RBIs (102).

The 2014 NL Rookie of the Year, Bryant also led the league in runs scored with 121.
"Kris is just an impressive young man in every aspect,'' Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said. "[He] is very mature, professional, light-hearted, but serious at the same time. He's just kind of a dream player for any organization.''
He becomes just the sixth player to win rookie of the year and MVP in one or consecutive seasons. He also is the first player ever to win college player of the year, minor league player of the year, rookie of the year and MVP in four straight seasons.
Bryant becomes the Cubs' first MVP since Sammy Sosa won the award in 1998.
