Yes! Bryce Harper won ROY in 2012.

I believe Ken Griffey Jr. finished 3rd in ROY voting behind Gregg Olson and Tom Gordon.

Darryl Strawberry?

Correct! Strawberry was the #1 draft pick out of Crenshaw High School in LA in 1980 and won ROY 3 years later.

Good NY guesses, but Gooden was drafted 3rd overall and Jeter 6th.
