[Yankees] King of the Gil, top of the heap. Rookie of the Year

45 comments
  1. Knew he’d win when he won Baseball Digest’s ROTY, just kinda signaled that baseball people were thinking him over Cowser. Happy for him, Orioles fans are gonna freak out lol.

  2. Feel like his rookie season was 2 years ago. Baseball is weird the way it qualifies it’s rookies

  3. Normally I try not to be petty but the salt from Os fans tears on r/baseball is going to be so, so sweet

  4. His first half was pure cy young winner worthy, that might’ve put him over the hill with the award. Well deserved.

    GOD BLESS ME

  5. Awesome! I really expected Cowser to get it until I saw Gil got that other ROTY award given out by I-can’t-remember-who.

  6. There were days when this kid was essentially unhittable; I can’t wait to watch his game mature in the Bronx.

  7. A lot closer than I would have liked but a win is a win. Showed up in Cole’s absence to help us get back to the postseason. Work on that control and we got a potential ace of the future when Cole eventually comes off the books. Well done and well deserved, Gil!

  8. Actually wild, was not expecting this at all. Back in the fall it was all Cowser/Wells convo while Gil was injured and going through a bad stretch. Hopefully this pushes him even harder to improve his command and mental game.

  9. You know while I’m glad he won and he showed lots of promise this year. I’ll still never forget that I went to the game against the White Sox while I was in Chicago and watched him get shelled by one of the worst lineups in history. Even when he was pitching well after it always left a sour taste in my mouth.

  10. Let’s Go! does this mean we also get a compensation pick in the draft next year? I can’t remember.

  11. Sucks that Gil is not PPI eligible for that compensation pick but better that nobody gets it than the Orioles

  12. Pleasantly surprised, I thought two Yankees on the ballot would both split the vote and amplify the “when in doubt, vote against the Yankee” factor but VERY glad to be wrong.

    God has truly blessed all of us
