Friday, November 11, 2011

Left-handed hurler Tony Martinez had a stellar first season in the big leagues as the 22-year-old Tampa Bay Rays pitcher went 15-9 with a 2.99 ERA to win the American League Rookie of the Year award.
Martinez held opponents to a .216 batting average and struck out 181 batters in 205 innings over 33 starts.
He was especially impressive down the stretch, going 11-1 with a 2.25 ERA from July through September, 8-1 with a 1.49 ERA in August and September.
Martinez beats out fellow Rookie of the Year candidates Reggie Willits (.312, 49 RBI, 72 R, 81 BB, 35 SB) of the Boston Red Sox, Minnesota Twins shortstop Gustavo Chavez (.233, 8 HR, 63 RBI, 22 SB), Chicago White Sox pitcher Wayne Williams (10-16, 3.73 ERA, 222 Ks) and Oakland Athletics reliever Harvey Buchanan (8-2, 18 Sv, 1.11 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 29 G).
In the National League, Arizona Diamondbacks first baseman Corey Gibson took home the top honors for rookies after hitting .285 with 50 doubles, 12 triples, four home runs, 58 RBI and 87 runs scored. The speedster stole 53 bases in 70 attempts and made just four errors in 144 starts at first base. In 120 innings at third base, Gibson made just one error.
Gibson edged out Cincinnati Reds pitcher Steve Myers (9-11, 2.71 ERA), Atlanta Braves starter Lonnie Green (13-10, 3.45 ERA), San Francisco Giants reliever Steve Rodgers (11-3, 2 Sv, 3.47 ERA in 81 G), Atlanta Braves outfielder Wiley Cooper (.256, 9 HR, 52 RBI, 97 R, 44 SB), Milwaukee Brewers thirdbaseman Derrick Riley (.283, 43 2B, 8 3B, 8 HR, 53 RBI) and Houston Astros firstbaseman Ramon Chavez (.252, 19 HR, 81 RBI).
