Power Rankings: Rookie of the Year

Who is Leading The ROY Watch Thus Far?

One month into the season the watch is on for Rookie of the Year. Players who start hot will fade, others that start off slowly will pick up steam in the summer months, but it’s never too early for The Dugout Doctors to start positioning the horses in the race.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Austin Jackson (Detroit Tigers) – This rookie is delivering one month into the season. Hitting .322 with a .390 on base percentage puts him at the front of the race. AJ is also mentioned in our Waiver Wire.

Mitch Talbot (Cleveland Indians) – This guy has been lights out with a 3-1 record in 4 starts, with an ERA of 2.05, and you should also pick him up!

Wade Davis (Tampa Bay Rays) – Has 17 strikeouts and a 1.41 WHIP. And he’s holding his own for baseballs hottest team.

Brian Matusz (Baltimore Orioles) – 27 strikeouts in 24 innings. He’s a long shot at this point, but he’s in the running.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Jaime Garcia (St. Louis Cardinals) – The kid is killing it right now with an ERA of 1.04 and a 2-1 record.

David Freese (St. Louis Cardinals) – He’s hitting .295 and making himself a force in an already potent lineup.

Gaby Sanchez (Florida Marlins) – An .844 OPS good enough to keep him in contention for the ROY honors.

Jason Heyward (Atlanta Braves) – Even in a slump he’s got an OPS over .800 and people think he has too much talent to slump for long.

Mike Leake (Cincinnati Reds) – The young starter is 2-0 with a 1.41 WHIP. He’s a long shot but he’s in the race.
