Watching homegrown prospects rise through the minor league ranks and become stars is one of professional baseball's most rewarding and exciting aspects. With youth talent at a premium these days, more and more young stars join the league yearly, but only two can win Rookie of the Year Honors.
The 2024 Rookie of the Year race was one to remember, with both leagues coming down to the wire. Ultimately, Luis Gil of the Yankees and Paul Skenes of the Pirates came away with the awards, which means it is time to start focusing on the 2025 season. While the odds for the 2025 Rookie of the Year have only been released on BetMGM FanDuel, and Caesars, we will keep bettors up to date on any movement throughout the offseason and regular season.
Here, we'll look at the ever-changing Rookie of the Year odds for both leagues on all the premier betting apps once they are released.

Only three pitchers have won the award in the AL since 2013, and one of them was Shohei Ohtani, who won as a two-way player.
The last starting pitcher to win the award in the National League prior to Paul Skenes in 2024 was Jacob deGrom in 2014.
The last four winners in the American League have played on a team that made the playoffs that season.
Before 2024, rookie pitchers had not won the award in both the AL and NL since 2011, when Jeremy Hellickson and Craig Kimbrel won it.
No American League team has had consecutive Rookie of the Year winners since the Oakland A's in 2004 (Bobby Crosby) and 2005 (Huston Street).
