The 15 Most Impressive Rookies of 2025

4. Nolan McLean (RHP-NYM)

8 GS, 48 IP, 2.06 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 8.5% BB, 30.3% K

McLean dominated and looked like a future frontline SP right away. The only reason he's not higher is because he only had 48 IP.

The 15 Most Impressive Rookies of 2025

5. Roman Anthony (OF-BOS)

303 PA, .292/.396/.463, 8 HR, 4 SB

The counting stats weren't gaudy, but Anthony pushed a .300 AVG and .400 OBP and finished T-5th in rookie fWAR while only playing 71 games.
