Sal Stewart won the National League Rookie of the Year Award.

Stewart received 20 of 30 first-place votes to claim the award ahead of Carson Benge and JJ Wetherholt, who collected seven and three votes, respectively. The power-hitting 22-year-old first baseman put together an impressive campaign from a traditional numbers standpoint, slashing .263/.330/.457 with 32 homers, 112 RBI and 15 steals across 162 games. Benge made a serious late push to fortify his case for the hardware, hitting .282/.346/.430 with 20 homers and 22 steals over 156 contests to finish second in the balloting. He also held a considerable edge in WAR, finishing at 4.3 compared to Stewart’s 2.0 mark, though it wasn’t enough to sway the voters.
