MLB Rookie of the Year Odds
At the end of each Major League Baseball season, both the American and National Leagues present the Rookie of the Year award. The award is given to the best first-year player, regardless of position. To qualify, players must have less than 45 days on an active roster before September 1. They are eligible even if they have previously played in a professional league other than Major League Baseball, as long as they follow the rookie rule.

AL Ro Y Favorites
Julio Rodriguez of the Seattle Mariners has sealed this match. Through 129 games, he hit 280/.342/.502 with 28 home runs and 25 stolen bases. He started slowly and was injured briefly, so that line has lots of potential to expand in the coming seasons. He was getting -4,000 or shorter odds to win before the odds fell off the books.
Other rookies in the American League have had strong seasons, but none have been in the same league as Rodriguez, except for Baltimore Orioles catcher Adley Rutschman. He is obviously inferior in contrast when looking only at his offensive figures since the switch-hitter slashed. In 111 games, he hit 254/.361/.448 with 13 home runs. He is, however, one of the finest defensive catchers in baseball, behind J-Rod by just 0.2 wins above replacement. This demonstrates how valuable Rutschman is to the Orioles.
Jeremy Pena of the Houston Astros started well but struggled during the summer. Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals has quietly blasted 20 home runs and stolen 29 bases, despite a.296 on-base percentage.
Steven Kwan of the Cleveland Guardians demonstrated that you don't have to smash many home runs to be a productive hitter, batting.301 while striking out in only 9.3% of his plate appearances. On the pitcher side, Rodriguez's teammate George Kirby is 8-4 with a 3.21 ERA (2.89 FIP) in 23 starts.
Reid Detmers of the Los Angeles Angels has shown potential as he tossed a no-hitter early in the season but has had inconsistent outcomes overall. Joe Ryan of the Minnesota Twins has also been inconsistent, although he has delivered some gems in his 147 innings.
NL Ro Y Favorites
Michael Harris is a fantastic performer who is also fun to watch. The Braves continued their record of not being afraid to promote young players in their organization by bringing up Harris, 21, before he had ever set foot on a Triple-A ballfield. Harris is a defensive magician in the outfield and has adjusted well at the plate, hitting.301/.340/.523 in 111 games with 19 home runs, 27 doubles, three triples, and 20 stolen bases. He appears to be a true five-tool threat who might be a staple in Atlanta's outfield for the foreseeable future. With teammate Spencer Strider injured, Harris has taken over as the betting favorite with only a 5% chance of winning.
Atlanta Braves' Spencer Strider (-140)
Strider is 10-4 with a 2.77 ERA and 165 strikeouts in 107 1-3 innings since joining the rotation on May 30. He has given up two or fewer runs in 16 of his 20 starts and nine of 10. He's incredible, but an oblique issue has him on the disabled list retroactive to September 21, which might mean the end of his regular season if the Braves want to keep him for their postseason push. His domination on the mound is enough to put him ahead of Harris in voters' minds. However, the injury might give the outfielder the little advantage he requires to take the field.
