Who will take home the major individual awards this MLB season?
It probably won't come as a surprise that last year's unanimous AL and NL MVPs are the favorites to win the hardware once again this season. The New York Yankees' Aaron Judge, who led the majors in both home runs and RBI, and the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, coming off MLB's first 50/50 season, opened the season as the prohibitive favorites. Things remain that way as we work our way through June.
The Pittsburgh Pirates' Paul Skenes is the current favorite to win the NL Cy Young after claiming last season's NL Rookie of the Year. Meanwhile, Tarik Skubal of the Detroit Tigers, who got all 30 first-place votes last season to capture the AL award, is currently the favorite to repeat.
In the race for the Rookie of the Year awards, shortstop Jacob Wilson of the Athletics is a huge favorite in the AL at this point over the likes of Kansas City Royals first baseman Jac Caglianone, who is just getting his feet wet in the majors. Things are a little tighter in the NL, where recent SP call-up Jacob Misiorowski of the Milwaukee Brewers and catcher Drake Baldwin of the Miami Marlins lead a promising pack of prospects.
