Kevin McGonigle Could Take Home Much More Than the AL ROY Thanks to Analytics

The 21-year-old has already established himself as the clear favorite to win the AL Rookie of the Year. Yet when the traditional statistics are put aside for a moment and the deeper numbers are examined, a much more intriguing possibility, and discussion emerges.
