Pete Alonso's historic season gained its final bullet-point accomplishment Monday night: National League Rookie of the Year.
In an expected landslide after one of the best rookie seasons in major-league history, Alonso was named the league's top first-year player, receiving 148 points and 29 out of 30 first-place votes.
He beat out the Braves' Mike Soroka (82 points, 1 first-place vote) and the Padres' Fernando Tatis Jr. (26 points). The award was voted on before the start of the postseason by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America, which announced the results Monday.
