NJ.com | Mike Rosenstein: Everybody loves rookies, especially when they perform at a high level from the moment they step on a major league diamond. Every Rookie of the Year candidate, however, has their own journey. Sometimes, they’re highly-touted prospects that were once early round draft picks and high-profile international free agents whose arrival in the big leagues has been carefully documented and long awaited. Other times, they come out of nowhere and burst onto the scene, inserted into a key role due to injuries or ineffectiveness. Anthony Volpe, the No. 5 ranked prospect in baseball and the Yankees’ consensus top prospect, certainly fits into the former category, as he’s an all-too-early candidate for the AL Rookie of the Year award.
