New York Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom is the winner of the National League Rookie of the Year Award.
deGrom received 26 of 30 first-place votes. Cincinnati Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton and St. Louis Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong finished second and third, respectively, in the voting conducted by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
deGrom, 26, went 9-6 with a 2.69 ERA and 144 strikeouts in 140 1/3 innings pitched over 22 starts.
He was twice named NL Rookie of the Month, and he also tied a MLB record by striking out the first eight batters he faced against the Miami Marlins on Sept. 15.
The Mets drafted deGrom in the ninth round of the 2010 draft.
Hamilton, 24, hit .250 with six home runs, 48 RBIs and a team rookie-record 56 stolen bases.
Hamilton stole a combined 155 bases in 2012 while still in the minors. That set a new Minor League Baseball single-season record for steals.
