To be eligible for the Rookie of the Year award, a player must meet certain criteria. According to MLB rules, a player is considered a rookie if they have not exceeded 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the major leagues, and they haven't been on a Major League roster for more than 45 days during the 25-player limit period. The biggest story is that, despite his slow start, Anthony Volpe of the New York Yankees has vaulted to the top of the race while pre-season favorite Gunnar Henderson of the Baltimore Orioles has begun to fall down into the middle of the pack in whats now a tight race. Yoshida homered on Wednesday and has hit safely in seven straight games after failing to record a hit in eight of his first 12 games, but before we're completely all-in again on Yoshida, we need to see him continue to produce offensively. The power really hasn't been there, granted, that could change as the weather warms up, and neither has the speed. Again, that could change rather quickly, but with a line of 3.5/1, we encourage to wait and see how Volpe and Brown continue to do before betting on Yoshida.
