"Rookie" of the Year

Gattis and Puig have now played in almost the same number of games. While the high-priced Cuban veteran has continued to fade after a media-enhanced burst onto the scene, the Braves rookie is experiencing a September resurgence. Puig’s season statistics still overshadow Gattis’, but the numbers from the last 30 games are close to equal, and the White Bear has out-hit Puig in the last seven games. While there is way too much competition for Gattis to win ROY, he does have the most home runs by a rookie…in far fewer games than most of his competition.
