Every year, a newcomer makes their mark in baseball.
Last year, it was Luis Gil and Paul Skenes that took MLB by storm.
Which young guys will it be this year?
Check out the odds for AL and NL Rookie of the Year at DraftKings Sportsbook as of March 26.
American League Rookie of the Year 2025
Cam Smith: +450 (bet $10 to win $55 total)
Kristian Campbell: +550 (bet $10 to win $65 total)
Jasson Dominguez: +600 (bet $10 to win $70 total)
Roman Anthony: +700 (bet $10 to win $80 total)
Jackson Jobe: +800 (bet $10 to win $90 total)
Jacob Wilson: +900 (bet $10 to win $100 total)
What to know: Cam Smith’s ascension to the top of the AL ROY oddsboard was swift, just like his ascension to the big leagues for the Astros. The Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez — nicknamed “The Martian” — opened as the favorite, but during Spring Training, Smith had four home runs, 13 hits, 11 RBIs and eight runs in 38 at-bats. The 22-year-old will now start in right field for Houston to open the season.
National League Rookie of the Year 2025
Roki Sasaki: +250 (bet $10 to win $35 total)
Dylan Crews: +300 (bet $10 to win $40 total)
Matt Shaw: +400 (bet $10 to win $50 total)
Bubba Chandler: +1000 (bet $10 to win $110 total)
Jordan Lawlar: +1100 (bet $10 to win $120 total)
What to know: Roki Sasaki joining the Dodgers was arguably the biggest free-agent news of the offseason. Sasaki, 23, was a star in Japan’s top league (Nippon Professional Baseball) over the past few years, pitching a perfect game in April 2022 and tying Shohei Ohtani for the fastest pitch in NPB history in April 2023. MLB.com named him the top prospect in baseball heading into the 2025 campaign. Sasaki started the second game of the Tokyo Series against the Cubs. In three innings, he had three strikeouts, giving up one hit and one earned run.
