Indians OF Tyler Naquin finishes third in American League Rookie of the Year voting

Indians outfielder Tyler Naquin finished third in American League Rookie of the Year voting, as announced Monday night on MLB Network and BBWAA.com.

Naquin hit .296 with a .372 on-base percentage, 14 home runs, 18 doubles, five triples and 43 RBI after earning a spot on the Indians’ Opening Day roster following Abraham Almontet’s suspension for performance-enhancing drugs.

Naquin parlayed that opportunity into a strong rookie season, highlighted by his inside-the-park walk-off home run against Toronto on Aug. 19.

Detroit Tigers starting pitcher Michael Fulmer took home the award, earning 26 of the 30 first-place votes. Fulmer went 11-7 with a 3.06 ERA and 132 strikeouts in 159 innings pitched.

New York Yankees catcher and designated hitter Gary Sanchez finished second after slugging 20 home runs with a 1.032 OPS in only 53 games.
