Truthfully, this is a bit of a strange award, because Seattle's MVP player is almost certainly Todd Rice or Hector Marquez. However, both of those players already received awards, so we're on to another player. Ultimately, the next-best player on Seattle's roster was almost certainly LLionnel Crepin.

This season, for the 6th season in a row, Crepin put up a wRC+ over 100. For the 5th year in a row, Crepin posted an OPS over .900. This season, Crepin posted an OPS of .902, which was good for a wRC+ of 124. Crepin also led the team with 38 home runs, and he also led the team with drawing 104 walks, which was good for 7th in the league.

This season, Crepin largely shifted to DHing, as Todd Rice's promotion allowed Crepin to shift to his natural position, which is one that doesn't require him to field. Moving forward, Crepin, who will be 29 next season, will be a key piece in Seattle's lineup as the Storm look to return to what they view as their rightful place: the playoffs.
