Of the nine players who qualified for rookie status on the Jays this year, none really made a significant contribution. Maximo Castillo, traded to Kansas City at the deadline in the Whit Merrifield deal, led all Jays rookie pitchers with 20 2/3 innings. Gabriel Moreno had more than twice as many at-bats as all the other rookie position players combined, and he didn’t break 70. The MVP vote was closer, with Manoah getting 13 votes and runner-up Matt Chapman getting 7 1/2. Schneider was drafted by the Blue Jays in 2002 and has played, coached or managed in the organization ever since.
