The Major League Baseball Awards season got underway this evening with the AL and NL Rookie of the Year (RoY) Awards. The Yankees’ freshmen duo of Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres comprised two of the three finalists for the AL RoY.
Shohei Ohtani represented the third finalist and the 2018 RoY winner. But, in my opinion, he shouldn’t have been under consideration. Not only was he a professional player in Japan for five seasons but he wasn’t able to have a complete Major League season as both a hitter and/or pitcher.
