Obviously rooker is the better hitter. Both's bb to k ratio is crazy good. McKay's pitching can't be discounted though. His 12.28 k per 9 is unbelievable.
McKay is great and I won't be mad if he wins it but Rooker is going to be only the 2nd player in history to win the triple crown in the SEC. The other guy that did it should be in the MLB Hall of Fame and there are several guys in the Hall that didn't come close to his season. I just think that 8-3 with a 2.22 era is very good but isn't amazing and his hitting stats might be 2nd team All SEC. The SEC is also the stronger conference and Rooker did this with very little protection in the lineup. If you look at total bases then Rooker had over 50 more total bases with 17 more stolen bases. I just think a season that you only see every 10 or so years and never in the SEC deserves it more than this years great dual position guy.
