Los Angeles Dodgers' Cody Bellinger named NL Rookie of the Year

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles Dodgers' first baseman Cody Bellinger has been named the 2017 National League Rookie of the Year.

The 22-year-old broke the NL rookie record for home runs with 39 and finished second in the league in homers.

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was chosen as American League Rookie of the Year. The 6-foot-7 slugger's victory was a foregone conclusion after he led the American League with 52 home runs and helped the Yankees reach the postseason as a wild card.

Judge is the first Yankee to receive the award since Derek Jeter in 1996.

Both Bellinger and Judge received unanimous votes for their honors.
