The 2019 MLB season will be known for the elite power hitters that debuted. This rookie class was stacked with young sluggers and top prospects that made an immediate impression in the league.

The 2019 MLB season has included a rookie class that will be remembered by the sons of superstars that debuted this year. Cavan Biggio, son of Hall of Famer Craig Biggio, debuted for the Toronto Blue Jays, as well as Bo Bichette, son of four-time All-Star outfielder Dante Bichette. Rounding out the generational trinity was Vlad Guerrero Jr., son of Hall of Fame outfielder Vlad Guererro. The Toronto Blue Jays have a bright future ahead with these three powering their lineup.

2019 was the year the rookies clashed for the home run derby. Vlad Guerrero Jr. put on an epic performance and battled to the end against New York Mets’ rookie sensation Pete Alonso.

Pitchers like San Diego Padres Chris Paddack, St. Louis Cardinals Dakota Hudson, and Atlanta Braves Mike Soroka were the impressive rookie starting pitchers of 2019. These young starters have bright futures ahead of them, as they already were dominating lineups this early in their career.

In a beyond competitive and impressive year for rookies, here are the rookies that are honorable mentions for top five rookies of the 2019 class.
