# Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award

Il Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award è un premio che viene consegnato annualmente al miglior esordiente (in inglese "Rookie") di ciascuna delle due leghe che compongono la Major League Baseball. La scelta viene effettuata in base ai voti espressi dai membri dell'associazione americana dei giornalisti sportivi del baseball (Baseball Writers Association of America - BBWAA). Il premio fu istituito nel 1940 ma venne assegnato per la prima volta solo nel 1947. Il premio è stato rinominato Jackie Robinson Award nel luglio 1987.
Fred Lynn e Ichirō Suzuki sono gli unici ad avere vinto il premio di rookie of the year e il titolo di MVP nella stessa stagione e Fernando Valenzuela ad essere stato premiato come esordiente dell'anno e con il Cy Young Award nella stessa stagione. Sam Jethroe è stato il vincitore più anziano del premio, 32 anni, 33 giorni in più di Kazuhiro Sasaki che lo vinse nel 2000 anch'egli a 32 anni.
