Ranking the rookies by their long-term potential

Juan Soto is having a historic season, perhaps the best offensive performance ever for a 19-year-old. Ronald Acuna nearly has matched Soto's numbers while displaying a broader range of skills, turning in the best rookie season by a 20-year-old since Mike Trout.

Barring a drastic tailspin in the final two weeks, Soto and Acuna will become just the fourth and fifth rookies in baseball history to record a .900 OPS with 400 or more plate appearances at age 20 or younger. Soto is the lone teenager in that group, which also includes Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Frank Robinson as well as Trout, a lock for Cooperstown.
