Freddy Peralta earned the American League Championship Series MVP award as the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians.

Freddy Peralta won the American League Championship Series MVP award after the Tampa Bay Rays defeated the Cleveland Guardians to secure the team's third AL pennant. The right-hander was 2-0 with a 0.75 ERA in three appearances, including two starts, against the Guardians. In Game 6 on Monday night, Peralta gave up one run and five hits over 5 1/3 innings in a 7-3 win. He tossed six scoreless innings in Game 2 and got two important outs in relief in Game 4.

Peralta, a two-time All-Star, was acquired by the Rays from the New York Mets before the trade deadline. He turned around his season after the move to Tampa Bay. Manager Kevin Cash announced the MVP award on the postgame stage at Tropicana Field, referring to him as 'Fastball Freddy'. Peralta relied on his four-seam fastball throughout the series.

Peralta spent eight seasons with the Milwaukee Brewers before being traded to the Mets in January due to his eligibility for free agency. He posted a 17-6 record with a 2.70 ERA with Milwaukee last year. In the World Series, Peralta will face the Brewers, his former team. 'Milwaukee is always going to be in my heart, but it's time to compete,' Peralta said.
