Detroit Tigers infielder Kevin McGonigle won the American League Rookie of the Year award and Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart won the National League award, the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced on Monday. McGonigle, 22, received 28 of 30 first-place AL votes, and Stewart, also 22, received 20 of 30 first-place NL votes. McGonigle, a left-handed hitter who split time between shortstop and third base, led the AL with 7.1 Baseball-Reference wins above replacement and slashed .278/.376/.430 with 18 home runs and 12 stolen bases. His 97 runs scored led all rookies. Stewart hit 32 home runs with 112 RBIs, the first season of at least 30 homers and 100 RBIs by a Reds rookie, and played in all 162 games. ESPN reported that McGonigle became the first rookie to finish in the top five of both walks and hits since Ted Williams in 1939, and that Stewart became just the fifth rookie with at least 100 RBIs and 15 stolen bases. Other finalists included Carson Benge, Cleveland's Parker Messick and Boston's Payton Tolle.
