Following a season in which he became the first rookie ever with 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases, Mariners star center fielder Julio Rodríguez can add some hardware to his trophy case.
The 21-year-old Rodríguez, who earlier this month won his first Silver Slugger award, was voted as the American League’s Rookie of the Year on Monday. He beat out Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman and Guardians outfielder Steven Kwan—the other two finalists—receiving 29 out of 30 first-place votes.
