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 were the recipients of the awards. For the 2025 season, the race is wide open in both leagues, as multiple young stars have started the season on a high note, while other high-profile prospects are close to getting their shot in The Show.

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

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 at an exceptionally high level, hitting .354 with a .880 OPS, 151 wRC+, and only nine strikeouts in 172 plate appearances.

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 carried over into the early portion of the season. Despite struggling early on in May, he is hitting .246 with a .746 OPS and five home runs.

Jasson Dominguez (NY Yankees): After reaching the World Series in 2024, the Yankees entered 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 .240 with a .761 OPS and 116 wRC+. The young outfielder may not have come out of the gates on fire, but he has been getting more consistent in May, including a three-home-run game against the A's.

Luisangel Acuna (NY Mets): The Mets have gotten off to an excellent start this season, and while there are plenty of reasons for that, the play of Acuna has been one of them. Entering the middle of May, Acuna is hitting .271 with a 92 wRC+ and ten stolen bases. Ronald Acuna's brother may not be flexing his power up to this point, but he has proven to be a vital asset in the field and on the base paths.

Agustin Ramirez (MIA Marlins): It's nearly impossible to start an MLB career better than Agustin Ramirez did at the plate. Since being called up and going 7-12 to begin his career, Ramirez is hitting .260 with an .876 SLG and five home runs in 82 plate appearances. While there is no way to go but down after hitting over .500 in your first week in the big leagues, Ramirez has proven his swing and power can play at the Big League level.

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 into the early portion of the season, but he has started to show improvement recently. Overall, he is hitting .189 with a 58 wRC+ and five home runs.
