The MLB has a long history of exceptional hitters and it can be really difficult for someone to make their mark on the league right from the get-go. For some, it takes many years across both the minor leagues and major leagues for them to acclimate to the professional environment. Some MLB players, however, are able to make an impact as quickly as their rookie seasons. I plan on finding which MLB hitters put together the greatest rookie seasons because of their hitting, fielding, and baserunning; everything that makes up what a position player needs to do on the field.
Throughout the video, I refer to a list that is sorted by fWAR to make sure we stay on track and highlight some of the most intriguing rookie seasons that I discovered in my research. A good rookie season requires numerous variables to go right: They need to play a large part of the season to accumulate a high enough WAR, have just the right experience so they do not falter in the big leagues when they get there, and simply have the talent level required to put up a monumental season. When you put it in that perspective, the odds are incredibly low to put up baseball’s best rookie campaigns. How about we figure out which position players beat the odds?

Ichiro. I know he was 27 and an established star in japan but he came here and was INCREDIBLE

@allainangcao28 8 месяцев назад

Ichiro may have been 27 and already a Seasoned Vet in Japan but boy once he crossed the Pacific, he torched opposing pitchers. Lots of his critics doubted his style would work in the high octane world that is the MLB... so he proceeded to win a Gold Glove, made the most iconic outfield throw IN HIS FOURTH GAME, a Sliver Slugger, broke the Rookie Hits in a Season Record, Rookie of the Year, and MVP... then proceeded to break the Most Hits in a Season three years later and even if he arrived during his Prime Years, still managed to reach the MLB 3000 Hits Club which a lot fail to do even if they make an MLB Roster at 20 years old. 😂

19:25 Dick Allen died a handful of years ago now. I think his brother's still alive and the questions just went to him after Allen died. From what I've read/watched, some people didn't really like Allen because he was a bit of a defiant and rebellious black man in the wake of the civil rights bill being passed, so there may have been a few writers who had it out for him. I think his stats speak for themselves, though, and his continuous snub is getting old. Also, Joe Jackson (and Buck Weaver, who might have been a HOF'er himself) definitely didn't throw the 1919 WS. Kennesaw Mountain Landis is a piece of crap who kept baseball segregated and tried to ban Babe Ruth too because he was petty.

I agree, Posey’s one of the best catchers of all time in my opinion, but he missed almost 60 games that year and just didn’t quite get enough fWAR to make the list.

I did not want to mention Corbin for the video since the season still had a month and a half left when I started working on it and didn’t want to speculate where he’d end up. He’s had a phenomenal year though.

@lincolnmckay555 8 месяцев назад

Should've used bWAR it's better! Also hates on Ichiro for some reason, he had a 7.7 bWAR in 2001.

@ABrandNewBallGame 8 месяцев назад

I personally don’t really think ones better than the other overall but more they each do something better on individual aspects. So, for position players at least, I lean towards fWAR.

@lincolnmckay555 8 месяцев назад

On the batting side I prefer fWAR and on the fielding side I prefer bWAR. But I usually lean bWAR because wrc+ and ops+ usually come out pretty similarly but drs and uzr don't. I think drs is a much better stat than uzr, so I like bWAR. That being said neither drs or uzr existed yet in 2001, so no idea which one was better when Ichiro was a rookie. Although considering he was an MVP 7.7 makes more sense than 6.0 in my opinion.@@ABrandNewBallGame

@johnanthony9923 8 месяцев назад

The one thing you left out about Judge's rookie season is that he also had the lowest "clutch" score in the entire history of baseball. And as a Yankee fan, I can tell you he hasn't gotten much better there since. Great at hitting meaningless solo HRs. God-awful in clutch situations and the post season. But just saying that is like criticizing Jeter to other Yankee fans. They refuse to accept it. lol
