The Athletic snubs Royals’ rising star of well-deserved AL ROY finalist recognition

While the Kansas City Royals' season hasn't gone how most fans would have liked - especially in September - there are still some individual performances to be celebrated. Maikel Garcia and Vinnie Pasquantino have finally had their breakout seasons. And then there's rookie pitcher Noah Cameron.

Cameron came out of nowhere this summer as an emergency fill-in who ended up pitching like one of the best hurlers of the year. Once he showed that he wasn't a one-hit wonder, he started getting mentioned by various analysts as a possible dark-horse AL Rookie of the Year.
