Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson was named American League Rookie of the Year on Monday, garnering all 30 first-place votes and becoming the first Orioles player to win the award since closer Gregg Olson in 1989.
The 22-year-old Henderson, who helped lead the Orioles to a 101-61 season and an AL East title, rode a combination of power and smooth defense to the award.
Cleveland right-hander Tanner Bibee finished second and Boston first baseman Triston Casas third. Henderson was the 13th unanimous selection in AL history and the first since Seattle's Kyle Lewis in 2020.
Because Henderson started the season in the major leagues and was ranked among the top 100 prospects in baseball, the Orioles will receive an additional first-round pick in 2024 as part of the Prospect Promotion Incentive in the collective bargaining agreement.
