The 2018 WSEM Rookie of the Year is Charles Alongi from the Islanders. Charles led his rookie class in every offensive stat category that matters. He was the only rookie to bat over .200 (.275 AVG - more than double the next guy), to slug over .400 (.505 SLG), and to get on base more than 40% of the time (.445 OBP). It's a wide gap, and on top of all that Alongi's 6 HR were more than the rest of the rookies hit combined. A solid first season and one that made for a quick decision when it came to naming Rookie of the Year.
It wasn't close, but Alongi's closest (sic) competition came from Islanders teammate Tom Zeller. TZ Top started pitching in the second half of the season; he threw 27 innings and posted a 2.89 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 4-1 record in 6 games. Good numbers, but too small a sample size for serious consideration. Had Tom pitched from the day one we may have seen a tighter race and had more to deliberate.
