Baseball season isn’t truly over until Major League Baseball hands out its yearly awards. That process will begin Monday as the league names the Rookie of the Year winners in the American and National League.
Unlike last year, when the respective Rookie of the Year races were over well before any votes were cast, this year offers far more intrigue. Sure, Los Angeles Angels two-way star Shohei Ohtani is the clear-cut favorite in the American League, but there’s a legitimate case to be made for New York Yankees’ stars Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres. Both were strong supporting players in a record-setting season for New York’s offense.
