Blue Jays rookie Spencer Horwitz has been phenomenal this season but continues to not get the full recognition for his play by the league.
Horwitz is in the top 3 WRC+ among rookies yet is still no where in the top 10 for MLB rookie power rankings meaning he ahs no shot of winning rookie of the year.
Top 3 rookies in WRC+ this year:
Tyler Fitzgerald (146)
Jhonkensy Noel (145)
SPENCER HORWITZ (130)
Tyler Fitzgerald (146)
Jhonkensy Noel (145)
SPENCER HORWITZ (130)
While there has been some incredible rookies this season in the MLB, Horwitz should be at least ranked in the top 10 for how he has been playing.
1. Shota Imanaga, LHP, Cubs
2. Yoshinobu Yamamoto, RHP, Dodgers
3. Jared Jones, RHP, Pirates
4. Jackson Merrill, CF, Padres
5. Mason Miller, RP, Athletics
6. Colton Cowser, LF, Orioles
7. Wilyer Abreu, RF, Red Sox
8. Luis Gil, RHP, Yankees
9. Joey Ortiz, 3B, Brewers
10. Masyn Winn, SS, Cardinals

Hopefully the young Blue Jay will use this as fuel to continue to dominate and come back even stronger next season.
