I get McCovey....he was an unanimous choice for a reason, he was apparently the only rookie who had a great season that year, or in other words his partial season was better than any other rookies season. There were no votes for any other players for that season's ROY.
There were two Yankees, IMO more deserving of the award than Ohtani w/o considering WAR. But if WAR has to be considered:
Ohtani's WAR was for both his pitching and his batting....offensively his WAR 2.7 and defensively was -.7. Offensively Ohtani was behind both Andujar (4.6) and Torres (2.9). Defensively Torres was .5 and followed by Andujar at -2.2.
If Ohtani some how deserves the award for his pitching......
