World Series MVP 2020: Dodgers' Corey Seager wins award after phenomenal postseason

Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager wrote his name into the history books after he was crowned the 2020 World Series MVP with LA beating the Tampa Bay Rays 3-1 in Tuesday's Game 6. Although the 26-year-old went hitless in the final game of the World Series, Seager was phenomenal throughout the Fall Classic and played a pivotal role in helping the Dodgers win their first championship since 1988. Prior to being awarded the World Series MVP, Seager earned the honour for the League Championship Series earlier in October.
