Seager hit .308 with 26 home runs, 72 RBI, 105 runs scored and 40 doubles in his first full season, statistically among the best rookie seasons ever for a shortstop. He finished 2016 ranked among the National League’s top 10 hitters in batting average, slugging percentage and runs scored.

Seager was named to the NL All-Star Team and was the recipient of a variety of honors, including the Jackie Robinson NL Rookie of the Year, Silver Slugger, NL Rookie of the Month (July) and Best MLB Rookie in the Esurance MLB Awards. He also finished third in the NL Most Valuable Player voting and participated in the T-Mobile Home Run Derby.
