In addition to Pete Alonso being named NL Rookie of the Month for April, Noah Syndergaard is NL Player of the Week for April 29-May 5.

Sadly the Mets finished third for National League East team of the month.

Jeff McNeil wins the Mets Heart and Hustle Award. It honors active players who "demonstrate a passion for the game of baseball and best embody the values, spirit and traditions of the game". It is voted on by MLB alumni. Every team gets one and then an overall winner is announced after the season.

Seth Lugo is NL Reliever of the Month for July, yet another award that apparently exists.

[whippoorwill]

Unbelievable but congrats to Seth!

[Edgy MD]

I fully expected to open this thread and see that Jacob deGrom had won Pitcher of the Month.



He's been awesome. He's been fully Jacobian.

Strasburg edged Jake. (Boo.)

So does, apparently, a Batman card with Seth Lugo's name on it.

Marcus Stroman's barehanded pickup and assist from Saturday is MLB Play of the Week, another heretofore well-hidden honor. It oughta be dubbed the VOFO for Ventura Ordoñez Fonzie Olerud, but whatever.

Stroman's play was terrific, but McNeil's play was pioneering.

[G-Fafif]

J.D. Davis's over-the-shoulder catch is the MLB Play of the Week.

[G-Fafif]

You're not going to believe this, but Pete Alonso is National League Rookie of the Month for September. He won three of the six such awards in 2019.

[Edgy MD]

I guess that, if Schaefer gave out a Mets Rookie of the Month Award, Alonso would have had a clean sweep.



fWAR by Mets Rookies in 2019



1) Peter Alonso: 4.8

2) Luis Guillorme: 0.2

3) Chris Mazza: 0.1

4) Drew Gagnon: 0.1

5) Brooks Pounders: 0.0

6) Daniel Zamora: -0.1

7) Ryan O'Rourke: -0.1

8) Sam Haggerty: -0.1

9) Stephen Nogosek: -0.1

10) Walker Lockett: -0.1

11) Jacob Rhame: -0.2

12) Tim Peterson: -0.2

13) Tomas Nido: -0.5

14) Tyler Bashlor: -0.6



Put another way, of all the fWAR put up by Mets rookies, 150% of it belonged to Pete Alonso.

[LWFS]

Waitwaitwait. You're telling me Walker Lockett didn't have a single chart-topping month this season?

[G-Fafif]

Pete Alonso is Baseball America's unanimous 2019 Rookie of the Year.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Do we know the dates yet when the Rookie-of-the-Year and Cy Young winners will be announced? First week in November, I assume? Right when the Tabloid Cover Derby is getting underway.

[Frayed Knot]

NOV 3 - Gold Gloves

NOV 4 - Finalist announced for each award

NOV 6 - Wilson Defensive Player Awards*

NOV 11 - Rookie of Year

NOV 12 - Manager of Year

NOV 13 - Cy Young

NOV 14 - MVP



DEC 9-12 - Winter Meetings

JAN 21 - HoF Voting results announced

FEB 21 - First Spring Training Games

MAR 26 - Opening Day









* I have no idea what these are. Are they new or am I going senile (or both)? How do they differ from Gold Gloves? DO they differ from Gold Gloves?

Gold Gloves have long been a Rawlings thing, are these just an extra cash grab?

[Edgy MD]

The Wilson Award is the defensive version of The Cy Young Award or The Hank Aaron Award. It's for the most valuable defensive player.



There are also lesser Wilson Awards for each position. While they endeavor to honor the same thing the Rawlings Gold Gloves are trying to honor, they are different in that they are decided by sabermetric formulae, whilst the GGs are voted on by players. Its pretty weird to see two rival glove companies each get sponsor a league-recognized award that is meant to honor the same thing.



They originally selected one guy per league as defensive player of the year, but then they shrunk it to one guy, which is unusual, in that awards typically proliferate, rather than anti-liferate, going from one overall winner to one in each league.

Braves and Sawx clearly are the standout teams so far. Interesting that a catcher has never won it.

[G-Fafif]

Pete Alonso is The Sporting News's NL Rookie of the Year.
