New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone spoke on Luis Gil earning rookie of the year honors after a successful 2024 season.

Gil won his first 2024 award when he was named the AL pitcher of the month in May (6-0, 0.70 ERA). He struck out 14 White Sox batters on May 18. For the regular season, Gil shattered his career high by throwing 151 2/3 innings and striking out 171 (and walking an MLB-high 77).

Gil won the American League Rookie of the Year Award on Monday night, beating out Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser by only five points. Gil received 15 first-place votes and Cowser got 13. Yankees catcher Austin Wells was also a finalist, finishing third.
