Detroit Tigers’ pitcher Michael Fulmer and Los Angeles Dodgers’ shortstop Corey Seager both won the Rookie of the Year award for 2016. Fulmer was brilliant at the beginning of 2016 but slowed down towards the end. Some analysts thought that rookie Gary Sanchez might take honors due to Fulmer’s slow end. Corey Seager was consistent the entire season and collected over 190 hits and over 40 doubles along with a Silver Slugger.
