NL Rookie of the Year

Candidates: Josh Bell, Pirates; Cody Bellinger, Dodgers; Paul DeJong, Cardinals

DeJong is the Mancini of the NL, a former fourth-rounder who wasn’t on many prospect radars, and Bell, a heralded prospect, had a good season. But Bellinger, like Judge in the AL, made this one a no-contest. That’s what happens when you hit 39 homers in 480 at-bats at age 22. I’d imagine this one also is a unanimous decision.

Winner: Bellinger
