2020 Rookies of the Year

[Hollywood42]

I thought there was a thread already, but I'm not seeing one, so here we go.

Who you got this year? Kyle Lewis or Luis Robert in the AL? Jake Cronenworth or Dustin May in the NL? Does Sixto Sanchez have enough time to catch up?

My takes at this point-

AL- Slight lead for Robert, but closer than people think. I hope Lewis goes on another tear to make it really interesting again, I fear that the hype Robert had is playing a bigger factor in the voting than it should. He's been great, but slowed down lately

NL- Probably has to be Cronenworth right now, but Dustin May is right there too. I think Sixto probably debuted too late to have a chance, but he should be up there in the voting

[sbfinley]

I think an argument can be made that Mountcastle is the most important rookie to his team this season. Favorites are probably Robert and Cronenworth right now. Lewis and Gosslin not far behind.

[PejaD]

Hope they only give one award this year given the shortened season and regionalized play rather than mostly league play. MLB RoY is Luis Robert.

[callou2131]

I dont know what I am missing here, and have no real stake in either player, but why do so many people put robert over luis? We are looking at a 40 point difference in Batting Average and very little difference in power. Is it just all the hype surrounding robert?

I think so. I’d give it to Kyle Lewis if I had a vote

Defense, Robert has over 1.0 defensive war in addition to his offensive #’s

40 point difference in Batting Average but you can't spell his name right...

[whitmm]

Check out the numbers for Kim from the Cardinals.

The way things are going, Sixto Sanchez will have better numbers than May. Ian Anderson has a shot to end up ahead of May. Kim should pass him as well. The only thing May has going for him is he plays for the Dodgers. 2.81 ERA, barely averages 5 innings (took out his 1 inning game he got injured in), a WHIP much higher than those other three, and will be third of the four in K/9. May has completely fallen on the odds boards in the last week.

I think it's Cronenworth's to lose. And I'd go with Robert in the AL

[DrewTheMan]

AL Kyle Lewis
NL Cronenworth

Best player in the future will be Sixto Sanchez, he is nasty

[eye4talent]

In the AL, Kyle Lewis and Luis Robert have both been tailing off quite a bit, though it appears that Robert is scuffling more. Lewis has the better offensive numbers, and now he has the amazing highlight of robbing a grand slam—which could prove to be one of the most memorable moments of the season. Ryan Mountcastle is on a nice run, but he just hasn’t played enough.

Lewis is the pick.

The NL is tough. If Alec Bohm stays strong at the plate the rest of the way, I’d go with him.

Robert is ahead at this point

-Rc of the month in Sept. (1st half of season)
-Neither have stood out in September
-White Sox going to playoffs
-Walkoff HR
-Superior defense

I do think it’s close and whoever finished better will get the award.

I can agree with this. When Santander went down, he stepped right in and has been crushing the ball. Without him they go back to being a complete dumpster fire instead of just trash.

I thought I heard he was an amazing CF’er???

[marterburn]

I love the Cronenworth story as much as anyone but he has opened the door bigtime in the last two weeks. His SLG n the month of Sept is .389. Only 4 R & 3 RBI this month.

Do I dare compare it to Bohm? I do. .542 SLG, 8 R, 12 RBI.

I think Cronenworth is still ahead, absolutely. But right now it feels like he's a pace runner in a 3200 m race getting passed by the entire field in the last 800 m.

I don't think who is hot at the end of the season factors into voting that much. Cronenworth has put up a 1.6 WAR, Bohm is at -.1. Cronenworth has better stats in about every category. It's more like he's had a huge lead in the 3200 and has coasted the last 800 and allowed others to tighten the gap. His biggest competition is from pitchers, not any position player

[thecardscout]

Right now its neck and neck with lewis and robert. Id maybe give it to lewis but with two weeks to go i can see robert pulling away as they head into the playoffs.

[coltsnsox07]

Rookie of the year, schmookie of the year.
One guy is on a first place team headed to the playoffs, and even though almost everyone makes the post season this year, Seattle still ain't going.
Robert is about to have as much playoff experience as Mike Trout(who also will be on his couch watching Robert on TV instead of playing in the post season, yet again)....what a damn shame.

[KnoxVegas Matt]

I can't imagine how Kyle Lewis is getting beat out by Luis Robert. Obviosuly the hobby is skewed because he was the guy coming in, but Kyle Lewis has been much better this season. Stats prove this. I'm well invested in both of their RCs as I think both will be career great players.

I think everyone should just sit back and enjoy the ride. Robert makes a great catch, Lewis makes a catch almost mirroring one of Griffey’s iconic catches. It’s great for the game. The debates are also great for the game! You can tell who the investors are, and they’re easy to identify and ignore because they’re invested in a player, and not in the game itself. This year is small potatoes vs those in the past, but it’s still good to see the debates during a 60 game season.

[thecardscout]

Robert has lews beat in almost all stats other than BA. and OBP. Lewis win it if season ends today. I see Robert finishing strong and winning the ROY imo.

Lewis has been the superior batter, Robert superior in the field. Both have essentially identical WAR. If this were the MVP it would swing to Lewis’ favor as batting seems overweight there. I have less of a sense of how ROY is decided.

But if Cronenworth continues as he has been for the last little bit here, the NL ROY voting is going to be pretty muddy. Hope he heats back up.

Robert is in a freefall right now. Slashing .130/.226/.196 with 18 strikeouts in 46 AB in September

However, Kyle Lewis isn't doing himself any favors, he's only marginally better this month at .200/.298/.375 with 16 strikeouts in 40 ABs

It seems too late for anyone else to make a late charge and steal this thing, so whoever has the better last week and a half of the season will probably end up taking home the hardware

[linderaaron]

Lewis will win it. Better stats all around. Numbers don't lie! Now if we could say with certainty that numbers were the only metric (which they should be)

[Hollywood42]

Offensively I agree, but Robert has been pretty good on defense this year despite some bad errors lately (straight up dropped a fly ball just today). Plus the hype Robert came in with will carry some bias I think, implicit or not

I have watched Kyle Lewis all season and he has made some tremendous plays on defense. I feel like outside of Seattle he isn't getting the recognition for his def that maybe he should. I understand dWAR but seriously. I agree its unfortunate that Robert will be carrying the hype from the beginning of the year. Unfortunately that was only 2 months ago.

[Hollywood42]

That catch Lewis had the other night was stellar. But the defensive metrics have Robert as one of the best defensive outfielders this year, whereas Lewis is just above average. Who knows how much that will factor into things

Time will tell. Crazy thing is, Seattle could still make the playoffs. Then what???:D:D

[WizardofOz1982]

AL - Robert
- I think he and Lewis have had equally good seasons but the defensive highlights and swag win it for Robert.

NL - Cronenworth
- He's the best NL rookie this year, position player or pitcher, but I could see someone like Kim with his sub 1 ERA or Devin Williams with his 53% K rate making a push. KeBryan Hayes came up too late but I think he'll be in the conversation next year.

Luis Robert in September: .100/.203/.150, 7 walks to 23 strikeouts. 5 singles and 1 HR

Kyle Lewis in September: .164/.277/.345, 9 walks to 23 strikeouts, 5 singles, 1 double, 3 HR

Lewis' slightly more productive September should be the difference maker here

Ryan Mountcastle is having a great debut year, but with only 60% of the games played that Lewis/Robert had, he shouldn't be in the running

Don't even care if I'm bias. Bohm should be NL ROTY.

.333/.399/.496 with 4 HR 22 RBI in 153 PA. Has multiple game winning hits, and has by far been the Phillies most clutch hitter. With RISP, he's slashing .457/.512/.543 with only 4 K's in 43 PA...

While he's by no means an elite fielder, he's definitely improved after a really bad start and his fielding issues has been blown out of proportion since. 3 errors in his first 9 games but only 1 in the 27 games since (103 chances).

I get that he just turned 24, so will never garner the same hype, but he's been spectacularly overlooked for a guy who has performed so well in a relatively large market/was the 3rd overall pick just 2 years ago/skipped AAA all together

It would be insanely hard for a non-closer RP to win ROY, but Devin Williams has been one of the absolute best, if not the best, RPs in the game this year. He needs to get serious consideration

[ctal]

LUIS ROBERT:

.255 ba | .318 obp | .509 slg | .828 ops | 29 r | 11 hr | 28 rbi | 6 sb

KYLE LEWIS:

.295 ba | .390 obp | .494 slg | .884 ops | 34 r | 10 hr | 27 rbi | 3 sb

Willi Castro: .346 ba | .380 obp| .551 slg| .931 ops | 21 r| 6 hr| 23 rbi | 0 sb

been hearing his name in some conversations

[Hollywood42]

Only 35 games though. Should be top 5ish but just not enough games to sneak in and steal it. Great year though, he was a huge pain against the Twins

Willi Castro: .346 ba | .380 obp| .551 slg| .931 ops | 21 r| 6 hr| 23 rbi | 0 sb

[marterburn]

45 days on active roster. Period. No Sept 1 provision this year.

So Adell is not Rookie eligible next year. Not sure how many that will effect (pitchers especially), but Adell is fairly notable in that regard in case he figures it out this offseason as some believe.

[calculusdork]

I think he's going to steal a few 5th+ place CY votes, so he should definitely be in the conversation.

[Hollywood42]

My official ballot-

AL
1. Kyle Lewis
2. Luis Robert
3. Willi Castro
4. Ryan Mountcastle
5. Christian Javier

Already gotten into Lewis vs. Luis a bit earlier, but those two are clearly the top 2 and both had poor ends to the season, but Lewis' finish was less worse so he stays on top. Willi Castro had a very impressive season (.349/.381/.550 with 1.4 WAR in 36 games), and Ryan Mouncastle had an oddly similar year, too (.333/.386/.492 with 0.9 WAR in 35 games). Christian Javier rounds out my top 5, he and Justus Sheffield were really close, and it could go either way- Javier slightly outperformed Sheffield on the surface, but Sheffield's underlying metrics were much better. I feel bad leaving Karinchak off this list after such a great start, but teams seemed to adjust to him in late August and he ends the year with a 2.67 ERA, taking his rookie year down from amazing to "just" very good.

Honorable mentions: Sheffield, Karinchak, Sean Murphy

NL
1. Devin Williams
2. Tony Gonsolin
3. Jake Cronenworth
4. Alec Bohm
5. Ke'Bryan Hayes

I get if people don't want to give ROY to a non-closer reliever, but what Devin Williams did this year is nothing short of amazing. In 27 innings pitched, he give up just a single run, and struck out 53 batters. That's about a 50% K rate! Incredible. I'm hoping the Dodgers let Gonsolin continue to start next year instead of bouncing him back and forth with the bullpen as they tend to do sometimes, because Gonsolin was great. If not for Williams, Gonsolin and his 2.31 ERA in 46.2 innings would be well deserving of the ROY. Cronenworth at #3 and Bohm at #4 is a little bit of a coin flip to me, Bohm was superior offensively, but Cronenworth played all but 6 games and was stellar defensively. I don't have a problem with anyone that would flip them. Finally, it's hard for me to put Hayes on this list at all with only 24 games played, but he slashed .376/.442/.682 and put up a 195 wRC+, which is just crazy. Those would probably come down with some more games played, but despite so few games he put up the NL's second best rookie WAR at 1.4, only behind Gonsolin (1.8).

Honorable mentions: Ian Anderson, Sixto Sanchez, Kwang-Hyun Kim

[BALxORIOLESx]

Ryan Mountcastle will still be eligible to win in 2021, correct?

[Andr3000]

Devin Williams is unhittable and should win it.

[PejaD]

Kyle Lewis in the AL and Jake Cronenworth (position player bias) in the NL

Early picks for 2021: Kebryan Hayes and Bobby Dalbec

Mountcastle (by 4 AB), Hayes, Sixto, Anderson, Dunning, Bart retain eligibility.

Bohm gets my vote, but Williams is very deserving if he does win. Cronenworth just accumulated a lot of stats over the year since he pretty much played a full season. I wouldn’t want to see him get it.

[eye4talent]

I can’t object too fervently to Williams argument—his performance was extraordinary. But Bohm was a difference-maker with the bat, an everyday, every-inning player.

Plus, Bohm is two years younger. Once a player is over 24, I feel less inclined to support his ROY candidacy.

Luis lost it when his batting average plummeted to .233.

[LittleJimmies]

Luis lost it when his batting average plummeted to .233.

Honestly neither of them have much to hang their hat on that makes them a clear-cut choice. Lewis was better with the bat over the entirety of the season and only dipped down to being a really bad hitter for the finishing stretch, where Luis dipped down to really really bad hitter status. Robert gets the edge for everything besides hitting though. The thing I think could push Robert ahead is just the over-the-top displays he put on and how much more publicized he was. Popularity shouldn't matter, especially not with the BBWA, but we know that it does.

[LVDan]

Lewis and Williams

[crpav]

Luis lost it when his batting average plummeted to .233.

I agree with this and I'm a huge White Sox and Luis fan. ALl he had to do was get like a few hits here and there in that stretch but that LONG stretch of Chris Davis bad killed his chances.
