Rookie of the Year: Aaron Judge

This will probably be the least surprising blog post in the history of the internet. But here goes...

The MLBoyfriend Rookie of the Year award goes to Aaron Judge!


Get used to seeing Judge win a lot of  awards this fall. With 98% of the vote, he was just named American League Rookie of the Year by Sporting News.


Judge hit 52 home runs this season--the most ever in a rookie year.


A lot of attention has been paid--rightfully--to Judge's batting stats. He had a .284 batting average (which admittedly is good but not great), a 1.049 OPS, 114 RBIs, 124 runs, and, of course, the 52 home runs. However, he's also a monster in the outfield--making great catches like this one from the last game of the ALCS.


Watching Aaron Judge play baseball this year has been really fun. It doesn't hurt that he's a cutie-patootie.


So, for the third time this season... Congratulations to Aaron Judge on being not just my MLBoyfriend of the week but also the first ever MLBoyfriend Rookie of the Year! Okay, the Rookie of the Year award was created just for him--so he had lock on it. Still, Judge definitely deserved it.
