As a Braves fan you sure picked the right time to make this thread.

Soto.

 

[Terry Yake]

i'm gonna say acuna

Soto.

Wouldn’t have been close a couple weeks ago.

 

[Cassano]

Torres

Torres

You do realize they hand out ROTY for both leagues, right?

I suspect Acuna is going to win this.

 

[UNB Bruins Fan]

Has Torres even been the best rookie on his own team?

 

[hockeykicker]

I know this doesnt count and it has nothing to do with this race but soto had like 10 games AA or higher before he came up. Acuna had at least 100. That's why soto is more special but acuna definitely deserves it if he wins

I’m only kidding. Acuna might have the advantage because the Braves might make the playoffs

Oh I know. Just admitting Soto had this easily till August.

 

[N o o d l e s]

I would be surprised if Acuna doesn’t overtake Soto stats wise through August and leads the Braves into the playoffs. I think he will and should get it.

I’ll go with acuna

Soto for me but this is close. Can't go wrong with either guy.

 

[bleedblue1223]

The NL rookie with the highest rWAR.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I thought I would bump this (even though I hate bumping old threads...)

I hate counting stats, but people like them, so there.

It's so damn close.

	AVG	OBP	SLG	R	HR	RBI	SB	wOBA	wRC+	bWAR	fWAR
Acuna	.293	.366	.552	78	26	64	16	.388	143	4.1	3.8
Soto	.292	.406	.517	77	22	70	5	.392	145	3.0	3.7

It's going to be real close. Edge may be given to Acuna just based on the team performance (which isn't fair to Soto if that's the case).

Incredibly close. You can't go wrong either way but it's basically a coin flip.

 

[Club]

Soto

 

[hockeykicker]

Fwiw and it means nothing, soto has won 3 of last 4 rookie of month in nl

 

[Voight]

Its going to make a good rivalry in the NL East for years to come.

 

[John Price]

Acuna

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Really close, but Acuna for me.
