Alonso wins NL Rookie of the Year

Not that it is a surprise to anyone. I just wanted to be first

I would have went with Soroka, but Alonso isn't undeserving either IMO. Tatis had outstanding numbers but he only played half a season. Bryan Reynolds quietly had a great rookie campaign (.314/.377/.503, 3.9 WAR). good to see John Means get some love in the AL (finished 2nd behind Alvarez).

Bryan who? Never heard of him...

Hooray, for extended franchise relevancy through individual statistical achievement!

Put it on the shelf next to deGrom's Cy Young and the space reserved for the World Series trophy

Hey, you won it in ‘86.

That was right about the time the dogs won their last one as well...

Congrats to Alonso on the win. He had quite the rookie year.
