For the final time this season, a panel of MLB.com voters has selected the top five Rookie of the Year Award candidates, and there’s a new name at the top of the National League list for the first time in four months.
In the American League, however, the leading vote-getter is the same as it’s been in the previous four polls. Could this be an indication of who will take home this year’s AL Rookie of the Year Award?
There’s also been some shuffling below the top spot in each league, as well as a couple of new names among the top five this time around.
Check back in November to see whether our voters got it right.
