Chicago White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu and New York Mets right-handed pitcher Jacob deGrom have been named the American League and National League rookies of the year.
Abreu is the first White Sox player honored with the award since Ozzie Guillen back in 1985 while deGrom is the first Mets players to win since Dwight Gooden in 1984.
