Bright spots for the 2019 Orioles were few and far between. One player who was, without question, a positive surprise for the team this season was rookie lefty John Means. The BBWAA voters for AL Rookie of the Year agreed, as Means was named among the top three vote-getters when award finalists were announced on Monday night.
The others announced as being in the top three were Houston’s Yordan Alvarez and Tampa’s Brandon Lowe. The winner and full results will be announced on November 11 starting at 6pm on MLB Network.
One thing to keep in mind is that the process of voting is over and has been over since before the postseason.
