History doesn't favor Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Paul Skenes in the race to win National League Rookie of the Year.
Things may very well come down to the wire for Paul Skenes in his bid to win the National League Rookie of the Year.
Merrill has played in 149 games and is batting .292 with 24 home runs and 88 RBIs. He's also played like a seasoned veteran and is tied for first in the NL with eight assists. Fulmer won the award over New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez, who only played in 53 games. The Tigers right-hander had a 5.4 WAR, while Sanchez's was a 3.0.
In 2022, a similar situation arose when Atlanta Braves outfielder Michael Harris II beat out his teammate, starting pitcher Spencer Strider for the award. Harris II had a 5.2 WAR compared to a 3.8 for Strider.
