Yankees Rookie of the Year

Runner-Up: Jordan Montgomery

WAR: 2.5

Even though this is another award we know the winner of, Monty deserves to be on the list. He leads AL rookies in starts with 27 and WAR, at 2.5; the next closest is P. Bridwell (AA) at 1.5.

Using minimum 100 IP, Jordan is first among rookies in SO per nine IP (8.5) and second in era (4.06). He is, in addition, one of only two rookie pitchers who has given fewer hits than innings pitched (132/144). And that is one of the best indicators of continued success.

Add in his WHIP of 1.257 and 136 strikeouts, and the Yankees hope they have a young, developing workhorse on their hands.

Winner: Aaron Judge

What can you say; it just seems to be this guy’s year.

Yankees Cy Young

Runner-Up: None

Winner: Sevvy

No other pitcher deserves to be mentioned. Hey, remember when it looked like Pineda might win this award?

Now on to a more competitive category.
