Former Boise Hawk named NL Rookie of the Year

Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa has won the 2015 American League Rookie of the Year award.

Like Correa, we are going to hear a lot from Bryant in the years to come. 279 with 22 homers, 68 RBIs and 14 steals, helping the Astros make their first postseason appearance in a decade. The atmosphere was insane, it was loud. And it’s good to play that way sometimes.

Lindor was the second place finisher, picking up 13 first place votes, 14 second place votes, two third place votes, and 109 points following a strong half year with the Cleveland Indians. Lindor received the other 13 first-place votes. The 21-year old hit a sole home run in the fourth to tie the game up. Despite that high number, Bryant had an on base percentage of.369, the second-highest on the team to Anthony Rizzo and 21st-best in all of baseball. He accounted for 12 Defensive Runs Saved, according to Baseball Info Solutions, replacing the departed Pablo Sandoval at third base for the Giants.

Quite a few of us even picked him to win the award before he played a major league game. At 21, Correa is just scratching the surface. According to Statcast, he hit a 495.3 foot home run off Rubby De La Rosa on September 6.

If you didn’t already know that the Cubs added lovely new scoreboards in the outfield at Wrigley Field, Bryant took it upon himself to point the left-field video board out to you with a home run he hit off his own mug.

Kris Bryant of the Chicago Cubs was the unanimous choice as National League Rookie of the Year.

The Major League Baseball season is officially over, but the awards are starting to trickle in. The players’ association, and Bryant’s agent Scott Boras, protested the decision to keep him in the minor leagues as a bush-league call that delayed the player’s status as a free agent until after the 2021 season.

Seeking their first championship since 1908, the Cubs were swept by the NY Mets in the NLCS after beating the Cardinals in the NLDS. “The only expectations that really matter are the ones that you put on yourself”. That’s something I definitely want to get back to.

“I think there is a way to top this year, and that’s to win the World Series, ” Bryant said.
