MLB has seen an influx of young stars take over the league this year.
Some of the most exciting players are playing their first full season in the majors.
That has led to an interesting Rookie of the Year ticket this year.
One name that stands out among the rest is Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Corbin Carroll.
Not only has he been the best rookie in baseball, but he’s also one of the best players.
Carroll is on the National League MVP shortlist.
It’s no wonder he’s at the top of MLB.com’s rookie power rankings.

The other hitter on this list who may challenge Carroll for the top spot is Elly De La Cruz.
He is the Reds’ top prospect and is ranked the second best in all of baseball.
De La Cruz has only played in 18 games so far this year and is making a bigger impact than anyone could imagine.
He’s already hit for the cycle and the Reds are 13-5 with him in the lineup.
Arizona and Cincinnati are two of the most surprising teams in the league this year.
He can thank a large part of his victories to the youth who have taken over his rosters.
Continuing with the teams that have surprised this year, it is difficult not to mention the Miami Marlins.
No one thought they’d be 11 games over .500 but here we are.
The pitching of rookie Eury Perez has been a big factor in his success.
He’s been as advertised, pitching with a 1.34 ERA in nine games.
Pérez is only 20 years old and has the opportunity to be one of the best pitchers in the game for a long time.
