Some Major League Baseball rookie classes are better than others. Just two years ago, Ronald Acuna Jr. beat Juan Soto and Walker Buehler for National League Rookie of the Year, with Jack Flaherty and Jeff McNeil also getting votes, and the American League class was headed by Shohei Ohtani, with Gleyber Torres finishing third. Last season, Pete Alonso, Mike Soroka and Fernando Tatis Jr. topped a strong NL class, with the jury still out on an American League slate that included Yordan Alvarez, Brandon Lowe, Eloy Jimenez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
This year's class doesn't look to be as star-studded as those of the past few years, but let's take a look at the players and see what the future might hold for them as they look forward to their second seasons.
