The last time a member of the Boston Red Sox won the American League Rookie of the Year award was in 2007. That of course, was second baseman Dustin Pedroia. Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels took home the honor in 2018.
This raises the simple question – do the Red Sox have any viable Rookie of the Year candidates coming up in the next few seasons?
Boston isn’t exactly dominant when it comes to Rookie of the Year winners. Since the inception of the honor in 1947, the Red Sox have had only six winners.
