The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award

The The Sporting News Rookie of the Year Award is an annual Major League Baseball (MLB) award established in 1946 by The Sporting News.

For the first three years (1946–1948) and again in 1950, there was a single award.

In 1961 and from 1963 through 2003, The Sporting News split the rookie award into two separate categories, Rookie Pitcher of the Year and Rookie Player of the Year (in each league).

In 2004 those two awards were discontinued, in favor of a single award, one for each league.

Below is a list of winners by year, name, team, league, and position.
