What is the greatest season by a rookie?
Some nominees:
- Mike Piazza 1993
- Pujols 2001
- McGwire 49 HR / 164 OPS+ season
- Ted Williams 1939
- Jackie Robinson 1947
My vote actually goes to Piazza 1993.
His position puts it over the top. He was in the top 10 in pretty much all offensive stats, even 2nd in OPS+ to only Bonds.
