Arozarena starred in last year’s postseason, but 2021 marked his first full season as an MLB rookie. Arozarena beat out Luis Garcia (Astros) and teammate Wander Franco (Rays) with 124 points from the voting by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America. India received all but one of the first-place votes — Marlins pitcher Trevor Rogers received the other.
