9/22/24	In an overall down Rays season, there actually was an MVP. In some seasons it has been hard to pick the Rays' MVP because several players put up big numbers and had impactful performances.

Zack Littell, in his first full year as a big-league starter, anchored an evolving rotation, leading the staff in starts (28), innings (151.2) and wins (eight), tied with Ryan Pepiot on the latter.
