In the 21 century, every American League Rookie of the Year
There has been discussion about every MLB award over the years. With pitchers, it has become less and less conventional to consider wins, and for good reason. The notion of an MVP's measurement has also evolved. There is discussion around the Rookie of the Year awards. There are others who submit their votes for the rookie who, in general, had the finest season. Others, however, factor in potential benefits, potential stardom, and things like that. Do you want a Rookie of the Year who went on to become famous to be remembered in history? Or a pitcher who was 26 years old and, you know, fine? The winners of the American League Rookie of the Year award in the twenty-first century.
2000: Kazuhiro Sasaki
One of the Rookie of the Year winners that not everyone
supports. To begin with, Sasaki arrived from Japan when he was 32 years old.
So, no, not your standard rookie. The fact that he was a bullpen pitcher is
another factor. He did make two All-Star Games and record a number of saves
with the Mariners. Sasaki also pitched for the whole four-year MLB career.
2001: Ichiro Suzuki
Okay, now we have a Japanese player who is entering his
prime in MLB and who we can support to win Rookie of the Year. Ichiro did,
after all, win AL Rookie of the Year AND AL MVP in his debut campaign. The
Mariners great would go on to shatter the record most hits in a season and
become a sporting icon. Yes, we're opening with back-to-back Mariners. Ichiro
was 27 years old when he made his debut, but he was so excellent that we have
no complaints.

2002: Eric Hinske
Well, Hinske did participate in 12 MLB seasons. His best
season was, however, his first one with the Blue Jays. Hinske's bWAR as a
rookie was 4.0, and he was never an all-star. His career bWAR is only 7.8,
meaning that in 2002, his first year in the majors, he produced more than half
of his career worth.
