Awards for August and standings at the start of September, 1901
Here are the awards for August:
AL Best Batter: Third baseman Jimmy Collins (Boston Americans), with a .400 average, 1 home run, 18 RBIs, and 29 runs scored.
NL Best Batter: Right fielder Willie Keeler (Brooklyn Superbas), with a .392 average, 2 home runs, 18 RBIs, and 26 runs scored.
AL Best Pitcher: Starting pitcher Cy Young (Boston Americans), with a 6-1 record and .226 batting average.
NL Best Pitcher: Starting pitcher Bill Donovan (Brooklyn Superbas), with a 6-0 record and 1.17 ERA.
AL Rookie of the Month: Starting pitcher Win Kellum (Boston Americans), with a 5-1 mark and 4.33 ERA.
NL Rookie of the Month: Starting pitcher Happy Townsend (Philadelphia Phillies), with a 5-2 record and .201 batting average.
In the standings, the Baltimore Orioles now only have a one-game lead for first in the AL over the Boston Americans, while the Philadelphia Phillies and Brooklyn Superbas are tied for first in the NL, with Pittsburgh one game behind. Looks like there will be pennant races in both leagues as the season comes to an end.
