The MVP award is called the MVP award. The Rookie of the Year is called the Rookie of the Year. The Sawamura Award is the equivalent of the Cy Young Award.

Thank you.
Are there any other awards handed out that might be equivalent to the Silver Slugger Award or the Gold Glove? Fireman of the Year? Comeback Player of the Year?

There is also the "Best Nine" Awards which are the top players at each position in each league.
Don't forget that like MLB where the awards are for the American and National Leagues; NPB has separate winners for the Central and Pacific Leagues.
Maybe that doesn't apply to Fantasy Leagues.

Actually our Fantasy league does separate the awards, so that info is very useful, thank you very much.

The Sawamura Award only goes to one pitcher, regardless of league.
There are Gold Glove Awards and a Fireman of the Year Award, yes.

About
This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.
It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.

We are wanting to name our awards in our fantasy Japan League appropriately, I am sure the Nippon League has names for their MVP, Cy Young equivalent, Rookie of the Year, and Manager of the Year just to name a few, I am wondering what the awards are named?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
CSFBL D MAN,
Commissioner
Japan League of CSFBL
