First time since 1981 2 starting pitchers won ROY.
It is the first time both Rookie of the Year winners have been starting pitchers since Fernando Valenzuela and Dave Righetti in 1981. The only other two instances were in 1976 (Mark Fidrych in the American League, Pat Zachry and Butch Metzger in the National League) and 1952 (Harry Byrd in the AL, Joe Black in the NL).
