The Baseball Writers’ Association of America announced the finalists for their 2018 post-season awards Monday, and you can color the American League side Angel red.
Shohei Ohtani, 24, who took baseball by storm last season by being the first player since Babe Ruth 100 years ago to pitch and hit at an elite level, is the likely frontrunner for the 2018 AL Rookie of the Year.
Ohtani will be considered a slight favorite for AL rookie of the year over New York Yankees infielders Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres.
Mike Trout is no stranger to these lists.
