Breaking News Cam Collier’s MVP award and his meeting with Ken Griffey Jr…
Cam Collier won the Futures Game MVP award after hitting a 409-foot home run to lead the National League to a 6-1 win over the American League.
Collier received the Larry Doby Award from Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr., whom he idolized growing up.
Collier’s home run was his most notable on-field moment, but receiving his trophy from Griffey might eclipse it when he looks back on this experience.
Collier is the second Reds player to win the Larry Doby Award as Futures Game MVP, joining Taylor Trammell, who took home the honor in 2018.
At 19 years, 237 days, Collier is the second-youngest player to earn the award, as José Reyes earned the honor in 2002 at the age of 19 years, 26 days.
