In 2015 several rookies took both the Major Leagues and fantasy baseball by storm. What young prospects could look to make an impact this season?

2015 was in many ways the year of the rookie. Not only did rookies play impacts for their teams, but many looked to be among the best players at their position.

Players like Carlos Correa, Noah Syndergaard, Miguel Sano, and Kris Bryant blew people’s expectations out of the water. Everyone knew they were good, but no one was anticipating they would play such a large role in both fantasy baseball and the MLB so early.

There may never be another class of rookies as talented as the ones that made their debuts in 2015. But, just because a group like that doesn’t come around very often doesn’t mean you wont find fantasy value in this year’s group of rookies.

According to FantasyPros, all of the players on this list are going to be taken at the very end of a standard draft and many won’t be drafted at all. Their average draft position (ADP) is based on a composite draft position gathered from five different fantasy platforms.

Alright, let’s take a look at the rookies that may be able to help their team this season. It should be noted that to be considered a rookie, a player must have less than 130 at-bats or less than 50 innings pitched.
