American League: Breaking down the Rookie of the Year race

Julio Rodriguez, Adley Rutschman and Steve Kwan are the frontrunners for the American League Rookie of the Year award. Jeremy Pena and Bobby Witt Jr. are unlikely to get any votes.

Steven Kwan is a rookie sensation who has been playing well for Cleveland since April. He has a .293 average and .369 OBP and his 12 stolen bases rate third. His nine outs above average in left field lead all of baseball and he has 18 defensive runs saved.

Adley Rutschman is the second-ranked rookie in the American League. He didn't make the Opening Day roster because of a triceps injury. Ritschman has put together a .244/.353/.425 line with eight homers in 82 games. His 13 defensive runs saved ranks second in AL for catchers.

Julio Rodriguez is the favorite to win the American League Rookie of the Year award. He is leading all rookies with 22 homers, 69 runs scored, 66 RBI, 132 wRC+, 3.8 fWAR and 4.6 bWAR.

Rodriguez is the front runner for the Rookie of the Year award. Rutschman has a decent chance to win the award because of Baltimore's surprising run. He's produced a .272/.411/.432 line since the All-Star break.
