Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll and Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson have been selected rookies of the year by Baseball Digest and eBay.
Each player was a unanimous choice after receiving all 11 first-place votes in his respective league from a panel of baseball writers and broadcasters. Results were announced by the publication.
Also Monday night, the Baseball Writers Association of America voted Carroll and Henderson as unanimous winners of the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year Award.
This marks the fifth time that the Jackie Robinson Rookie of the Year winners are unanimous choices in both leagues. The others were A's first baseman Mark McGwire and Padres catcher Benito Santiago in 1987, Angels right fielder Tim Salmon and Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza in 1993, Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra and Phillies third baseman Scott Rolen in 1997, and Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge and Dodgers first baseman Cody Bellinger in 2017.
The speedy Carroll won the National League award after batting .285 with 25 home runs, 76 RBIs and an .868 OPS for the NL champion Diamondbacks. He was successful on 54 of 59 stolen base attempts and scored 116 runs.
After signing a $111 million, eight-year contract in March, Carroll also led the league with 10 triples and made his first All-Star team.
New York Mets pitcher Kodai Senga finished second.
Henderson took the American League honor after hitting .255 with 28 homers, 82 RBIs and an .814 OPS for the AL East champion Orioles. He scored 100 runs and split time defensively at third base and shortstop.
Cleveland Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee and Boston Red Sox first baseman Triston Casas tied for second.
Balloting was based solely on the regular season.
Carroll and Henderson are both among the three finalists in their respective leagues for the Rookie of the Year awards to be announced Monday by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.
