While New York Yankees third baseman Miguel Andujar missed out on the AL Rookie of the Year Award by a slim margin, he did enjoy another prestigious honor on Wednesday night.
Yankees youth star wins a great award:
Andujar won the Thurmon Munson award, named after a great player that was a generational talent in his time. The young infielder had a stellar 2018 at the plate, hitting .297 with 47 doubles, setting a Yankees record at the position.
Moving forward, Andujar will look to improve upon his defensive skills which caused him problems last season, as he racked up 15 errors.
