2025 MLB Rookie of the Year Odds

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.

Here, we'll look at the ever-changing Rookie of the Year odds for both leagues on all the premier betting apps.

Kristian Campbell (BOS Red Sox): The Boston Red Sox took Campbell in the 4th round of the 2023 MLB Draft, and since then, he has flown through the system and up the prospect rankings. In two minor league seasons, Campbell hit .327 with a .986 OPS, 21 home runs, and 27 stolen bases. With Campbell continuing to post numbers like that in Spring Training, he was able to break camp with the Red Sox as their starting second baseman. Campbell's success from the spring has also carried over into the early portion of the season, as he is hitting .328 with a .972 OPS through his first 69 plate appearances.

Jacob Wilson (Athletics): The A's 2023 first-round draft pick made his debut with the team last season and was able to break camp with the team to start this season. Wilson showed some promising signs in the minors last season, and to start the year, he's swung the bat well, hitting .344 with a .852 OPS, 150 wRC+, and only three strikeouts in 61 plate appearances.

Jasson Dominguez (NY Yankees): After reaching the World Series in 2024, the Yankees enter this season with one less superstar. This puts a lot of pressure on their #1 prospect, Jasson Dominguez, who broke into the league briefly in 2023 before needing surgery. In eight games in 2023, the man they call The Martian hit .258 with four home runs and a .980 OPS. While he would struggle in his brief return in 2024, Dominguez has a clean slate entering this season, and so far, he is hitting .229 with a .702 OPS in 55 plate appearances.

Roki Sasaki (LA Dodgers): After much deliberation, Roki Sasaki decided to take his talent to LA to play for a loaded Dodgers team. The young Japanese flamethrower will fit into an already star-studded rotation, as he has the makings of a guy who could rack up strikeouts. Last season in Japan, Sasaki pitched 111 innings and boasted a 2.35 ERA with 129 strikeouts and 32 walks. Overall, Sasaki finished his career in Japan with a 2.02 ERA in 414.2 innings. To start his MLB career, though, Sasaki is still trying to find his footing, as he has 13 walks, 12 strikeouts, and a 5.51 xFIP through 13.2 innings.

Matt Shaw (CHI Cubs): The Cubs made Matt Shaw the #13 pick in the 2023 Draft, and after dominating in the minors, he was able to make his Major League debut when the Cubs opened their season in Japan against the Dodgers. In 121 games last season across Double-A and Triple-A, Shaw boasted a .284 average with 21 home runs, 31 stolen bases, and an .867 OPS. To start his MLB career, Shaw is hitting .172 with a .535 OPS and one home run through 68 plate appearances.

Dylan Crews (WAS Nationals): Following a year in which his former LSU counterpart won this award, Nationals outfielder Dylan Crews will look to go back-to-back with Paul Skenes. Washington took Crews with the second pick in the 2023 draft, and he broke into the Big Leagues last season. In 31 games, Crews hit .218 with a .641 OPS, but as he gets more comfortable in the majors, we will likely see the player we saw at LSU, who can drive the ball into the gaps. So far, though, Crews's struggles in the majors have continued in the early portion of the season, as he's hitting just .106 with a .120 wOBA.
