Predicting 2027 MLB Rookie of the Year candidates: Josue De Paula, Kade Anderson, Jesús Made and more
Follow
Kevin McGonigle of the Tigers and Sal Stewart of the Reds claimed the 2026 Rookie of the Year honors on Monday night, with McGonigle dominating the American League race and Stewart narrowly beating out Carson Benge and JJ Wetherholt in the National League. Looking ahead to the 2027 season, Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson emerges as a strong contender, having already made his debut in late August and delivered seven quality starts while remaining eligible due to limited service time.
As the third overall selection in the 2025 Draft, Anderson is widely regarded as the top pitching prospect in baseball and is expected to secure a starting role on Opening Day, a position that could significantly strengthen his case for the award.
