Dempsey has been named the MLS Comeback Player of the Year after a heart condition in 2016 put his career in jeopardy. Dempsey was the choice after scoring 12 goals in the 2017 regular season and reclaiming a place on the U.S. national team before the Americans fell short in in World Cup qualifying.
