Red Sox’ Tolle Finishes Third in AL Rookie of the Year Voting as McGonigle Wins With 204 Points
Major League Baseball announced the American League Rookie of the Year voting results on November 10: Boston Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle finished third with 54 points and did not win the award. Detroit Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle won with 204 points and 28 first-place votes, and Cleveland Guardians left-hander Parker Messick was second with 122 points and 2 first-place votes. Tolle, 24, started the season at Triple-A Worcester and, after his late-April call-up, stayed in the starting rotation all season, posting a 3.03 ERA over 148 2/3 innings in 26 starts to become an important member of the Red Sox rotation. Boston’s last AL Rookie of the Year was Dustin Pedroia in 2007; the club has gone nearly 20 years without a winner. Tolle was one of the three finalists, and although he finished third, his rookie-season performance has been recognized by the club and its fans. The Red Sox said Tolle will continue as a starting pitcher next season and is expected to take on a bigger role in the rotation.
