Dan Wilson was named AL Manager of the Year by The Sporting News, leading the Seattle Mariners to their first AL West division title since 2001 and a strong postseason run.

Colton Cowser narrowly missed winning the AL Rookie of the Year, losing to Yankees pitcher Luis Gil by just five points. Despite being listed on more ballots, Cowser's 13 first-place votes fell short against Gil's 15. The Orioles also missed out on an extra draft pick that would have come with Cowser's win. Meanwhile, Jackson Merrill, another local talent, was runner-up for the NL Rookie of the Year. Orioles fans hope for better luck next year with prospects like Coby Mayo.
Baltimore Orioles' rookie Gunnar Henderson is heavily favored to win the American League Rookie of the Year Award, while manager Brandon Hyde is a strong contender for the AL Manager of the Year Award.
