Willie Mccovey played 52 games and won rookie of the year. If Gary Sanchez plays in 53 games by season end does he have a chance?

Can Gary Sanchez do what willie Mccovey did?

No, great stars came from the '59 season but none did much. For example Bob Gibson pitched in just a handful of games.
McCovey hit .350+ and garnered all first place votes. The numbers suggest that no one else was even close. I don't think that could be said about 2016 plus he is late to the game.

Sanchez has a good shot, but only because the AL rookie class is so weak.
Fullmer was the early favorite, but he fell from 9-2 with a 2.11 era to his current 10-7 3.03 era. He doesn't even have enough innings anymore for a possible era title.
The only other candidate is the Rangers Nomar Mazara, who I think is the favorite so far because he's been solid for a full season and has played most games.
He's at .273 with 20 homers and 62 rbi.
If Sanchez hits a few more and leads AL rookies in homers, he can win, like how Ryan Howard won in only half a season.

He's definitely been my fantasy baseball MVP. That Sunday night bomb got me the playoffs W.

Frank Thomas was the most superior rookie by a landslide in 1990, but his 60 games wasn't enough.

This fact usually works AGAINST Yankee players. Think 1999 Jeter.
Sanchez is hitting like crazy, but he's also throwing out runners at a ridiculous clip and blocking everything. Not to mention he's been dropped into the 3-hole within the first two weeks of his career in the biggest pressure cooker in the league in the heat of a 5-way Wild Card battle. Without Sanchez, the Yanks are likely sub-.500 or so. He's kept the team in the playoff hunt and that alone deserves serious votes.

I think he has a good shot at it. He is pretty amazing.
