Bryce Harper lost the batting title on the final day of the season to Dee Gordon.
Harper ended in a 3 for 22 slump and Gordon took advantage to win the batting title .333 to .330.
Harper also fell 1 rbi short of 100, but he tied Nolan Arenado for the NL lead in home runs with 42 and led the Majors in WAR.
Great season for Harper and he's the frontrunner for MVP since none of the playoff teams really have a candidate who compares to Harper's all-around dominance, other than pitchers like Arrieta, Greinke and Kershaw.
Nolan Arenado, by the way, led the NL in both home runs and rbi, and along with his incredible defense would have been a real MVP candidate had the Rockies been good. Then again, the Nationals weren't good either, but this was Harper's year as the game's biggest star, at least among hitters.
MVPs should be Harper in the NL, Josh Donaldson in the AL.
