Offseason Awards: Rookie of the Year

Like the Gold Glove award, this one is pretty easy.

There were six players who made their major league debuts this season: Ronald Belisario, Brent Leach, Travis Schlichting, Xavier Paul, Mitch Jones, and Jamie Hoffmann.

Paul, Jones, and Hoffman had 14, 13, and 22 at-bats, respectively. Which means they were pretty insignificant during the season.

And talking about insignificant this season: Schlichting pitched 2.2 innings in 2 games this season.

Which leaves us with Brent Leach an
d Ronald Belisario.

Leach did have a pretty effective month and a half with the team during the season. Unfortunately, he was with the team for three months.

Meanwhile, Belisario appeared in 69 games and posted a 2.04 ERA. He was even a nominee for the "J's Dodger Blog 2009 Reliever of the Year" award. I mean, come on. This one was a run-away.


So, congratulations to Ronald Belisario, the "J's Dodger Blog 2009 Rookie of the Year."
