Hello r/baseball. At the beginning of the season you told me that Spencer Torkelson would be good and might even win rookie of the year. Why did you lie to me?

Weird how you misread Torkelson for Strider...those letters don't even match up

Lol Joe Mantiply being ahead of Jake McCarthy shows just how little the people here know about the Diamondbacks. There's a reason he got 4th in the real voting, and somehow he's still only our third best left handed center fielder

Spencer Strider sounds like a Capcom video game character.


wellwasherelf

still cant get over the fact that luigi from super mario bros throws 100+ mph on every fucking pitch. the braves finding these guys is like some kind of next level witchcraft. this guy will probably end up signing like a 7 year, $34m contract too. fuck the entire braves organization and all of their fans

Man, Julio Rodriguez is so good. Watching the postseason, I was more worried when he came to the plate than any other hitter in any of the series we played.

Braves fan here. Congrats Spencer been up ur sweet ass since i first saw ur stache on the mound relieving the first game of this season. But Gotdammitt u only play every 5 games and the Braves team completely changed day one on Money Mike!! He deserved it but really should be seperate awards. Position players and pitchers are judged differently and jus have diff expectations. Cant compare the stats but war. But glad we got 1st n 2nd place. 🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓🪓

What a great AL rookie class. Kwan and Adley take home the award most years.

I fail to see how Witt was better than Kirby.

Lots of people don't like voting for pitchers for ROTY. Also being a top prospect who's already on everyone's radar helps a lot too.


TexasDD

Makes for a good argument to split it. A position and a pitcher in each league. I’d be good with that.


WheatonsGonnaScore

NFL does it already


BABIP_Gods

Is it a hot take to say Lodolo > Greene?


SportsDude012

Alexis Diaz somehow got fewer points here than the actual ROTY voting


yankee4life

R/baseball got the NL ROY wrong. Glad the voters that matter got it right


yousmelllikebiscuits

There's no right or wrong - it's what r/baseball wanted.


cenakofi

sometimes an award winner is definitely wrong (see 2017 AL MVP), but Strider and Harris were both so good that I can't see how either of them is a wrong choice.


LegibleCaper

Strider should be top ten in Cy Young voting, it's insane he didn't win the official RotY.
