The MLB does Toronto Blue Jays rookie Spencer Horwitz dirty in recent announcement

Horwitz is coming off an incredible season with the Blue Jays in his rookie year being one of their most consistent bats with 12 homeruns, 40 RBIs, a .265 batting average and .357 on base percentage in 97 games this season.

The MLB announced that Colton Cowser, Austin Wells and Luis Gil were the three finalists for the 2024 American League Rookie of the Year award.

While Cowser is an obvious nomination after putting up incredible numbers for the Baltimore Orioles this season with 24 homeruns, 69 RBIs, .242 batting average and a .321 on base percentage, the other to finalist are much less of a lock.

Austin Wells finished the season 13 homeruns, 55 RBIs, .229 batting average and .322 on base percentage in almost 20 more games than Horwitz which proves that he could easily take Wells' spot.

Luis Gil on the other hand is a little harder to compare since he's a pitcher but when looking at his numbers on the season, one can tell that Horwitz was a bigger factor for his team than Gil was.

It is clear that Horwitz should at least be a finalist even if the clear winning is Cowser because of his incredible 2024 season.

On top of this, Horwitz was only named to the MLB Pipeline's All Rookie Second Team this season when he should have easily made the first team.
