Baseball’s season is now three-fourths of the way complete, and most of the division races have yet to be sorted out—except for Kansas City’s dominance in the AL Central. Meanwhile, the individual awards are seeing some separation. Here’s a look at which players will be walking away with the best hardware.
AL Rookie of the Year—Carlos Correa, SS Houston Astros: .282/.347/.517 (average/on-base/slugging), 15 home runs, 43 RBIs.
Correa is still only 20 years old and has superstar written all over him. An above-average defensive player at a premium position, his bat is actually his best asset. The future is pretty bright for Correa, who is a five-tool player and budding superstar.
Runner-up—Nathan Karns, SP Tampa Bay Rays: 7–5 record, 3.44 ERA, 24 games started.
