After votes were counted for who would be named the Rookies of the Year in MLB for the American and National Leagues, it turned out to be an easy decision. 

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll and Baltimore Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson were named the NL and AL Rookie of the Year respectively by unanimous decision, as the results were revealed on MLB Network Monday. 

It's just the fifth time in MLB history that both Rookies of the Year were unanimous decisions. It last came in 2017 when the New York Yankees' Aaron Judge and Los Angeles Dodgers' Cody Bellinger were easy picks for voters.

Carroll and Henderson were the top two prospects entering the 2023 season after both making their big league debuts in 2022. Many believed they were cornerstone pieces for their respective franchises, and if Year One is any indication of what to expect from them, the D-Backs and Orioles are both lucky to have them on their rosters. 

Starting with Carroll, he's the first Diamondbacks player to win the award. His speed and high-contact abilities at the plate were on full display for an Arizona team that shocked everyone when they made it to the World Series. 

Carroll played a vital role in that, slashing .285/.362/.506 with a .868 OPS, 30 doubles, 25 homers and 10 triples, which led the NL, over 155 games.
