Bellinger is the latest in a long line of rookie stars for the Dodgers. The franchise has seen 18 players take home the award, beginning with Jackie Robinson, who won the first edition in 1947. That's easily the most among all clubs.
In both leagues, the award from the Baseball Writers' Association of America is now named for Robinson. The Yankees' Aaron Judge captured the American League hardware. Both were unanimous selections, setting up a head-to-head duel for the sport's overall top rookie when the Esurance MLB Awards are announced.
Like Judge, Bellinger set his league's rookie home run record this season.
