Detroit Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle and Cincinnati Reds first baseman Sal Stewart have been named the 2026 American League and National League Rookies of the Year, respectively. The awards were announced on Monday night by the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) as part of their annual awards week. Both 22-year-old players spent sufficient time with their major-league clubs to earn a full year of service time, which qualifies the Tigers and Reds for Prospect Promotion Incentive picks in the 2027 MLB Draft.
