Major League Baseball’s annual awards week got underway Monday night with the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year award. The Manager of the Year award will follow Tuesday, then it will be Cy Youngs on Wednesday and Most Valuable Players on Thursday.
As a reminder, these are regular season awards. There are 30 votes per award (two per MLB city in that league) and members of the Baseball Writers Association of America cast their ballots between the end of the regular season and the start of the postseason. Here now are the 2024 Rookie of the Year award winners.
