Just three weeks ago, Horton was named Rookie of the Year by The Sporting News, an award voted on by his fellow players. His pitch arsenal featured five different offerings, led by a four-seam fastball that averaged around 95.7 mph. He posted a 2.67 ERA over 118 innings, striking out 97 batters during the season.
