Corey Seager and Teammates React to Him Being Named 2016 NL Rookie of the Year

On Monday Corey Seager was named the 2016 Jackie Robinson NL Rookie of the Year, bringing the award back to Los Angeles for the first time since 1996. He went up against teammate Kenta Maeda and center fielder for the Nationals, Trea Turner; however, with a slash-line of .308/.365/.512, he was the clear favorite to win the award.
