We've seen a slew of remarkable individual performances in each of the first three months of the 2026 MLB season. But some have stood above the rest.
Here are the monthly award winners for June in the American and National Leagues.
AL Player of the Month: Junior Caminero, Rays
It's not how you start, it's how you finish. Caminero was the epitome of this in June. He started the month batting .239 with a .774 OPS over his first 12 games. But after that? How about .404 with a 1.342 OPS? The Rays' third baseman was especially scorching the last seven games of the month, when he hit .481 with eight homers -- including a three-homer game and dingers in five straight games to end the month -- and a 1.919 OPS. Good thing he's coming back to the Home Run Derby. In all for June: .327, 10 homers, 24 RBIs and a 1.075 OPS. He's now in the AL MVP conversation.
NL Player of the Month: Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs
Crow-Armstrong hit his way right into the NL MVP race with his performance in June. He hit .381 with 11 homers and a 1.249 OPS -- the highest mark of any qualified hitter. The offensive eruption raised PCA's season batting average by 42 percentage points during the month and raised his OPS by a whopping 170 points. He hit safely in 14 straight games at one point and had 12 multi-hit games, including a four-hit game on June 15, when he hit for the cycle.
AL Pitcher of the Month: Drew Rasmussen, Rays
Rasmussen was dominant in June. He pitched 33 innings and allowed just three total runs. That translates to an 0.82 ERA for the month, the second-best mark in the Majors. Meanwhile, his 0.61 WHIP for the month was tied for the best mark among all qualified pitchers. The righty also held opponents to a .142 average in June, the lowest mark in the AL, and had a career-high 13 strikeouts on June 10 against the Red Sox. With Caminero claiming AL Player of the Month, this marks the first time in franchise history that the Rays have had players win both awards in the same month.
NL Pitcher of the Month: Logan Webb, Giants
The only pitcher more stingy than Rasmussen in June was Webb. He led all qualified MLB pitchers with a 0.71 ERA and a 0.61 WHIP (matching Rasmussen) in 38 innings. The righty held opponents to a .148 average across his five starts and had three straight starts in which he completed eight innings. Webb concluded the month with seven scoreless innings of one-hit ball against the Braves on June 27.
AL Rookie of the Month: Kazuma Okamoto, Blue Jays
Okamoto's June just continued what's been a highly impressive rookie campaign. The third baseman led all rookies with seven homers in the month and tied for the AL rookie lead with 20 RBIs, while his .913 OPS and 11 extra-base hits during the month ranked second among qualified AL rookies. Okamoto also had nine multi-hit games in June, the most among AL rookies.
NL Rookie of the Month: TJ Rumfield, Rockies
This is Rumfield's second straight Rookie of the Month honor because the lefty slugger flat-out mashed in June. He led all MLB rookies with 15 extra-base hits and a .989 OPS, while his .316 average and .400 on-base percentage for the month both led all qualified NL rookies. He also hit five homers in June, tied for most among his NL rookie peers. Meanwhile, his 10 multi-hit games during the month were the most of any MLB rookie. He also hit safely in 18 of his last 19 June games.
AL Reliever of the Month: Jacob Latz, Rangers
Latz went 11-for-11 in save opportunities in June, finishing with the most saves in either league. He wasn't one for drama, either, recording a 0.62 WHIP across his 12 relief appearances, the lowest mark of any MLB pitcher who tossed at least 15 innings during the month. Latz also had a 33 percent strikeout rate during the month, second-best among AL relievers with at least 15 innings pitched.
NL Reliever of the Month: Jhoan Duran, Phillies
Duran led NL relievers with nine saves in June and pitched to a 1.64 ERA and a 0.91 WHIP during the month. He struck out 18 batters across 11 innings for a 42.9 percent strikeout rate, the highest of any NL with at least 10 innings pitched during the month. Duran didn't allow a run after June 9 and held opponents scoreless in 11 of his 12 appearances.
