The Baseball Writers Association of America announced the finalists for their annual Major League Baseball awards. In a surprise to no one, the race for Rookie of the Year comes down to the Atlanta Braves’ young phenoms.
Pitcher Spencer Strider and outfielder Michael Harris are two of the three finalists for the NL Rookie of the Year along with the St. Louis Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan.
If Strider and Harris come in first and second, it would be the first time that teammates finished No. 1 and No. 2 since Craig Kimbrel and Freddie Freeman did in 2011.
