Top 10 MLB Rookies to Watch in 2024
Every year, several rookies take MLB by storm. Bobby Miller, Anthony Volpe, Corbin Carroll and Gunnar Henderson did just that in 2023. With tons of prospects poised to arrive, there are more than a few who are ready to make a big impact. Here's our list of 10.
MLB 2024 Rookies to watch
10) Jasson Dominguez
Jasson Dominguez's season with the New York Yankees will be shortened by injury, but he mashed when he was up last season. Expect that to continue once he's healthy.
9) Heston Kjerstad
Heston Kjerstad is a top prospect for the Baltimore Orioles, and that implies big things. They have tons of prospects and young players, and the slugger's experience at the MLB level will only be valuable.
8) Paul Skenes
Paul Skenes is a bit of a longshot to even make his debut. He's currently in AA, but the jump from that level to MLB has been done before. He's also one of the best pitching prospects in a while, so keep an eye out.
7) Colton Cowser
Colton Cowser played some in 2023 with mixed results, but the experience is valuable. Yet another of the Baltimore Orioles never-ending top prospects, he's worth keeping an eye on.
6) Junior Caminero
Junior Caminero is expected to make his MLB debut this year, perhaps rushed by the Wander Franco situation. He's a top prospect with the Tampa Bay Rays, and he could be the future.
5) Nolan Schanuel
This is the Los Angeles Angels future, so watch out for Nolan Schanuel. They will more than likely bring him up and let him play a ton, so he has an outside shot at challenging for awards.
4) Colt Keith
Colt Keith already has a long-term extension with the Detroit Tigers before he's made his debut. That suggests loads of talent, so when he comes up, he very well could win Rookie of the Year.
3) Wyatt Langford
Wyatt Langford is on the books as a real, genuine Rookie of the Year candidate. If he debuts for the Washington Nationals, he'll likely play a lot and be an impact player.
2) Jackson Holliday
Given that he's the favorite to win the Rookie of the Year, it's a safe bet that he's going to make his debut at some point. The former top draft pick out of high school has an MLB father and looks primed to take over the sport.
1) Evan Carter
Evan Carter has plenty of MLB experience and will almost undoubtedly be an Opening Day starter. After his blistering postseason, all eyes will be on him for the Texas Rangers.
