Best of Ricardo Pepi: 2021 MLS Young Player of the Year

El Tren’s magical year keeps rolling.

A product of the prolific FC Dallas Academy, Pepi led his club with 13 goals and three assists this season. Pepi’s standout performances included his first MLS hat trick, against the LA Galaxy on July 24, as well as a pair of braces, against the Supporters’ Shield-winning New England Revolution on June 27 and against in-state rival Austin FC on Aug. 29.

Building on his success for FC Dallas, the El Paso native earned multiple call-ups to the US men’s national team for Concacaf World Cup Qualifying, notching the go-ahead goal and dishing out two assists against Honduras on Sept. 8 in his debut and recording a brace against Jamaica on Oct. 7.

Tuesday’s award adds to the accolade Pepi received when being voted No. 1 on MLSsoccer.com’s 22 Under 22 presented by BODYARMOR list last month.

The Young Player of the Year award honors the top player in the league age 22 and under. Players born on, or before, Jan. 1, 1999 were eligible for selection.

The Young Player of the Year award was voted on by MLS club technical staff, media and current MLS players.
