The 2019 NL rookie class is incredibly stacked. There are four rookies in the NL who are on pace to be worth more than four FWAR this year. That’s just flat out absurd, in the last five years combined there have only been four rookies who were worth four FWAR or more, Matt Duffy, Kris Bryant, Corey Seager and Cody Bellinger. This year, Bryan Reynolds, Mike Soroka, Fernando Taits Jr. and New York Mets sensational rookie Pete Alonso are all on pace for that kind of a season.
This is one of the greatest Rookie of the Year races in recent memory due to the stacked field.
