The Rookie of the Year race is already taking shape, but it is far from over. On this episode of the Baseball Insiders Prospect Show, Adam Weinrib and Eric Cole break down the early favorites in both leagues, including Sal Stewart’s fast start in the National League and Chase DeLauter’s surge in the American League, while also looking at why Kevin McGonigle still feels like a major long-term threat.

They also dig into which prospects still in the minors could enter the race later this season, what to expect from Noah Schultz as he arrives in Chicago, and which players are rising and falling after another week of minor league action.
