He had a 3.31 ERA and threw over 100 MPH. Shohei Ohtani racked up 63 Ks over 51.2 innings. There are so many places to start, so let’s begin with pitching. Maybe we can go ahead and bore you with some REAL facts on why Ohtani is a CLEAR choice over Miguel Andujar. These are the kind of ridiculous arguments you hear from Yankees fans and supporters of Miguel Andujar as ROY. No mention that in one of those game he left because of a blister and the final game he left because his UCL was shot. What? This one isn’t even about Andujar and he harps on the fact that Ohtani only started 10 games and can’t be that extraordinary because he has averaged around 5 innings per start. Ohtani “the pitcher” has been an inconvenience to the Angels.


That’s not “not as costly as you may think”, but rather just plain terrible. For the record, and according to Fangraphs - Andujar has the WORST defensive ranking of all qualified third basemen.

Okay Mr. “Andujar’s poor fielding performance hasn’t been as costly to the Yankees as you may think.” This one is just plain laughable.Last time I checked, being the most consistent on a team isn’t what makes you a league wide ROY.
