The MLB Rookie of the Year honors were handed out on Monday night with New York Mets players shut out. That’s okay. The intention was always to make the 2026 season the year when players like Nolan McLean compete for the honor. He did receive a pair of fifth place votes.
Along with the big announcement, MLB Pipeline put together an All-Rookie first and second team. No Mets were present on either, and again, we can’t really complain because they had no significant graduates from rookie eligibility. However, two former Mets prospects the team gave away for nothing (or in one case, practically nothing) made it onto the All-Rookie second team roster.
