The 2025 MLB rookie class is poised to play an important part in the postseason chase. In the American League, Rookie of the Year favorite Jasson Dominguez will be playing every day right out of the gate for the Yankees, while Kristian Campbell and Roman Anthony are close to breaking in with the Red Sox. Jackson Jobe, who made a cameo in last year's playoffs, is poised to pitch important innings for the Tigers.
And in the National League, the Dodgers are set to debut yet another Japanese supertstar in Roki Sasaki. Matt Shaw is on track to take over at third base in Chicago, and former college superstar Dylan Crews should be hitting in the heart of the lineup in Washington.
But it's not always the name at the top of the odds boards who win Rookie of the Year. Just take last year, when Yankees right-hander Luis Gil pitched his way to the award. So where should bettors look to place their wagers?
