Congratulations to Detroit’s Kevin McGonigle and Cincinnati’s Sal Stewart on being named the 2026 MLB Rookies of the Year!
Both McGonigle and Stewart put together strong campaigns from start to finish, earning spots on their respective All-Star teams. McGonigle made his MLB debut on March 26 and went on to lead the entire American League with 7.1 Wins Above Replacement (WAR), hitting .278 with 18 home runs, 72 RBI, drawing 95 walks and stealing 12 bases.
Stewart, meanwhile, got a taste of the Big Leagues last year, but little enough to keep his rookie status intact. This season he started all 162 games for the Reds, setting a franchise rookie-record with 112 RBI and finishing six dingers shy of Frank Robinson’s rookie record set in 1956.
Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to be named Rookie of Year (both American and National League) since 2000 can you name in six minutes?
Good luck!
