With the Houston Astros playing in Minnesota this weekend, and both teams having outstanding rookies on their major league squads, it seems like a good time to look at the AL Rookie of the Year race. There’s only one more month to go in the regular season, so the race is coming down to the wire.
Houston fans already know how great Carlos Correa is because we are wowed night after night by his spectacular fielding and veteran-like plate presence. Yes, we’re biased, but that’s because we’re fans. However, given Correa’s prowess for making highlight reels, fans around the nation are taking notice, too.
