Summary of article:
The Guardians’ 26-year-old left-hander Messick was shortlisted for American League Rookie of the Year and Cy Young awards at the same time. Because Cy Young was ranked in the top three, it was determined that according to the PPI system, he would bring another draft pick to the team in 2027.
mlbmajor League The nominees for the annual awards were announced today. The 26-year-old left-back from The GuardiansMessi Parker Messick was not only shortlisted for American League Rookie of the Year, but also included in the American League Cy Young list, becoming the first player in history to help a team receive an additional draft pick with conditions other than Rookie of the Year.
In the past, there have been many teams that deliberately delayed promotion to the major leagues for a few weeks in order to delay the time for big rookies to qualify for free agency and calculate their seniority. Therefore, a related method was proposed in the 2022 collective bargaining agreement through “Prospect Promotion Incentive”.
If a rookie is promoted to the major leagues within two weeks of the first season, spends almost the entire year in the major leagues, and ultimately wins Rookie of the Year, or is shortlisted for the annual MVP or Cy Young awards before qualifying for salary arbitration, the team will receive additional draft picks, called “PPI picks”, to incentivize including the newcomer on the roster at the beginning of the season.
Since the launch of the system, a total of 6 teams have benefited, and all of them have met the conditions through the Rookie King. This year, Messick has been on the list twice. Although the American League rookie king still has to wait for the lottery, Cy Young is in the top 3, and it is determined that the Guardians will get another draft pick in the 2027 draft.
Messick has started in 32 games in the major leagues this season, recording 12 wins and 9 losses, an ERA of 2.56, and 193 strikeouts in 186.1 innings. Cy Young’s competitors will be Dylan Cease of the Blue Jays and Cam Schlitler of the Yankees.
