The first of many rookie-of-the-year-type awards is out, and, although it’s not THE Rookie of the Year Award (yet – that comes November 16), it does come via player votes over at the Sporting News.

Bryant’s 127 votes lapped the field, with Matt Duffy’s 22 coming in second.
Bryant already collected Baseball America’s big league rookie of the year honors, and more will be on the way.
