"The Red Sox will be hoping Wednesday's Cy Young Award vote goes better for star pitcher Garrett Crochet than Monday's American League Rookie of the Year Award vote went for outfielder Roman Anthony. Anthony finished third for the award behind a pair of Athletics, first baseman Nick Kurtz and shortstop Jacob Wilson. Kurtz won the award unanimously. Kurtz was seen as a frontrunner for the award for the majority of the season after one of the best rookie years in recent MLB history."
"After making his debut on June 9, Anthony put up an impressive season. He hit .292 in 71 games, as well as hitting eight home runs and driving in 32 RBIs. Even with Anthony's season being cut short due to an oblique injury, he did enough to put himself in consideration for rookie of the year. The promising start to Anthony's career has earned him praise from head coach Alex Cora."
Roman Anthony finished third in the American League Rookie of the Year voting behind Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson. Kurtz won unanimously after a .290 batting average, 36 home runs and 86 RBIs. Wilson received far more second-place votes than Anthony. Anthony debuted on June 9 and hit .292 over 71 games with eight home runs and 32 RBIs before an oblique injury ended his season early. Anthony entered as a top-ranked minor-league prospect and has shown strong hitting, improved defense, advanced baserunning and outfield skills. Alex Cora praised his at-bats, baserunning and defense.
