It’s a good thing for Shohei Ohtani scouts, managers and coaches don’t have an AL Rookie of the Year vote.
In a Post poll of voices from those MLB positions, not only did the Angels’ Ohtani, a rare two-way performer, not win, but Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar was a unanimous selection.
The BBWAA kicks off its award season Monday night with the AL and NL Rookie of the Year award winners. Two voters from each AL city will determine whether Ohtani or Andujar wins. Gleyber Torres joined them in the final three, but it has long been viewed as a two-player race, even if a scout in close contact with the AL had Torres second and Ohtani third.
