Like the Cy Young, the Sawamura doesn't include post-season, right? Darvish's win over Naruse in game 5 was huge, but I imagine that the votes were in before then? (Or weren't "supposed" to consider that.)

As Deanna and others pointed out, Darvish won this based on his season stats. He lead the league (both leagues in many cases) in something like 17 categories. Game 5 of the Climax Series had nothing to do with it.
Somebody else had asked if Darvish was the first Fighter/Flier in franchise history to win the Sawamura Award. Nikkan Sports confirms that to be so [in Japanese].

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.
