When the winners of the American League and National League Rookie of the Year Awards were announced Monday night, something was painfully clear: the voters nailed the NL winner and botched the AL.
Ronald Acuña Jr. of the Atlanta Braves was more than worthy of the award on the NL side yet Angels pitcher and designated hitter Shohei Ohtani was, without a doubt, the wrong choice for the AL award.
The man who finished in second place, New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar, was far and away the best rookie in the AL.
