Last year, the New York Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom won the National League Rookie of the Year voting. The tenth place finisher was Arizona pitcher Chase Anderson.
Their connection: they both won nine games in their first big league year.
Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Taylor Jungmann won nine games this year and should get some RoY voyes, although he won’t win the award. But a season like this is something the Brewers had hoped for since they made Jungmann the 12th overall pick out of the University of Texas at Austin in the 2011 MLB draft.
