Wilyer Abreu hit 15 home runs and won a Gold Glove in 2024, but the Boston Red Sox right fielder ultimately did not finish top-three in AL Rookie of the Year voting.
The AL East swept the finalist spots for AL Rookie of the Year, but the Boston Red Sox were shut out.
Abreu finished the season batting .253 with 101 hits, 15 home runs, 58 RBI, 59 runs, eight stolen bases, a .781 OPS and a 3.5 WAR across 132 games of action. He also posted a 1.3 defensive WAR and 17 defensive runs saved in right field, winning a Gold Glove as a result. Cowser hit .242 with 24 home runs, 69 RBI, nine stolen bases, a .768 OPS, three defensive runs saved and a 3.1 WAR. Gil went 15-7 with a 3.50 ERA, 1.193 WHIP 171 strikeouts and a 3.1 WAR.
Even though his year-end stats suggest he should have been a finalist anyways, Abreu batting .174 with a .517 OPS in September may have ultimately sunk his chances. He had been hitting .270 with an .836 OPS up to that point. Wells was even worse down the stretch, however, batting .111 with a .411 OPS in the final month.
