Rookie Class Rankings: MLB's Fresh Faces of 2023

Locked On MLB Prospects | A Daily Minor League Baseball Podcast

In this episode of Locked On MLB Prospects, host Lindsay Crosby dives headfirst into the exhilarating world of rookie classes in Major League Baseball for the year 2023.

In the first segment, Lindsay dissects the contenders' list, where Cincinnati's impressive depth on both sides of the ball narrowly outshines the top-heavy Orioles. With the Diamondbacks and Dodgers in close pursuit, find out which teams boast the most promising rookies as they aim to make a significant impact on the big league stage.

Segment two is all about the non-contenders' rookie classes, with the New York Mets securing the top spot thanks to the undeniable talents of Francisco Alvarez and Kodai Senga. Discover which teams follow closely behind the Mets, including the Guardians, Rockies, Red Sox, and Yankees, as they strive to build a brighter future through their rookie stars.

In the final segment, Lindsay takes a closer look at teams that didn't see much rookie action in 2023. Whether it's due to a lack of roster space, players debuting last year, a shortage of prospects, or underwhelming performances, get insights into why teams like the Braves, Nationals, Padres, and Pirates had limited rookie contributions.
