The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award


The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award - Definition

The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award was established in 1946 by The Sporting News (TSN).

In 1947-48, and again in 1950, a single award was given for all of Major League Baseball.

In 1949 and since 1951, TSN has given an award to a player from each league.

From 1963 through 2003, TSN split the rookie award into two separate categories:
- Rookie Pitcher of the Year
- Rookie Player of the Year

In 2004 those two awards were discontinued in favor of the unified award below.

This is the list of ballplayers awarded by year, name, team, league and position.
