The Pirates’ Paul Skenes is the Baseball Digest National League Rookie of the Year. Yankees pitcher Luis Gil is the AL Rookie of the Year.
Skenes took 9 of the 11 first-place votes from the Baseball Digest panel of writers and broadcasters. Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill had the other two votes. Johnny Ray, Jason Kendall, Warren Morris, and Jason Bay are previous Pirates’ Baseball Digest rookie winners. Only Bay went on to win the AP Rookie of the Year Award. That announcement is scheduled for November 18th.
