Latest News About Rookie Of The Year

Here’s the latest I can share about Rookie of the Year news.

• MLB ROY winners for 2025 were Nick Kurtz (AL) and Drake Baldwin (NL), with Kurtz earning a unanimous AL award and Baldwin winning NL. This marks a notable year for the Athletics and Braves in ROY history.[2]
• Prior reporting indicated the 2024 ROY winners were Paul Skenes (NL) and Luis Gil (AL), reflecting a recent trend of strong rookie starts across leagues. That provides context for how the award has progressed in recent seasons.[3]
• A mid-2025 poll article highlighted Jacob Wilson as a leading AL rookie candidate through the season, with other strong contenders like Misiorowski and Baldwin also in play, illustrating how competitive the race can be during the year.[1]

If you want, I can pull the very latest updates from official sources (MLB.com, team press releases) and summarize any new ROY developments for MLB and, if relevant, other sports that use a “rookie of the year” award. I can also set up a quick chart showing ROY winners by year if you’d like a visual.
