In the American League, Detroit Tigers rookie Kevin McGonigle is making a serious case for Rookie of the Year hardware. The young infielder has put together a standout season that's turning heads across the league, and right now he's the name to beat when the voting conversation heats up.
Over in the National League, it's St. Louis Cardinals infielder JJ Wetherholt who's sitting in the driver's seat. MLB dot com's latest poll has Wetherholt as the clear favorite for the NL Rookie of the Year Award, and if his numbers hold, that trophy could be heading to Missouri before the year is out.
And if you want to talk about a teenager rewriting the record books, look no further than fifteen-year-old Vaibhav Sooryavanshi. The Indian batting phenom piled up seven hundred seventy six runs at a strike rate of two hundred thirty seven point three zero, and smashed seventy two sixes — edging past Chris Gayle's record for most maximums in the process. Fifteen years old. Let that land.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
