This season’s MLB rookie class was really something to watch. Each gave an amazing effort and outstanding performance, truly setting the bar high for future rookies to come. I would like to give credit to the lower levels of the Major League Baseball organization and the developments they have made. Because of their progress, these rookies are coming into the league well equipped, more prepared, and with better knowledge and understanding of the game. They are showing more maturity, both on and off the field, putting up spectacular numbers, and carrying themselves like seasoned veterans. A couple of them were even considered for MVP honors. While all the rookies are indeed rising stars and there are no clear cut favorites, there were a couple who stood out. Buster Posey, catcher for the San Francisco Giants, won Rookie of the Year for the National League. The first Giant to win since 1975, he had 18 homeruns and 67 RBIs, making them World Series champions. American League Rookie of the Year winner Neftali Feliz, deserves recognition as well. The closing pitcher for the Texas Rangers helped them reach their first World Series ever, and set a rookie record of 40 saves! So the question is stick to be answered, who will fall into the Sophomore Slump?
