For the third straight year, the New York Yankees enjoyed a historic rookie campaign from one of their homegrown players. Following in the footsteps of Gary Sanchez and Aaron Judge, Miguel Andujar began to etch his name into baseball lore after permanently replacing the injured Brandon Drury at third base on April 7th.
On the final day of the regular season, Andujar smacked his 47th double, tying Fred Lynn’s American League rookie mark. It was the crowning achievement of a tour de force that could garner Andujar the Rookie of the Year Award.
