With Montreal's youth movement on full display, it is perhaps unsurprising that at least one of their many rookies would be in the running for Rookie of the Year.

Tom Allen

If there were a rookie Triple Crown, third baseman Tom Allen would be on track to win it. His .296 batting average, 26 home runs, and 96 RBIs lead the league's rookies. In addition, he is ranked first in OBP, slugging percentage, OPS, OPS+, isolated power, doubles, total bases, extra base hits, WPA, wOBA, and WAR. If that's not impressive enough, he also leads all Johnson League third basemen, rookie or otherwise, in zone rating and range. Allen was selected in the third round of the 2052 amateur draft by Montreal.

Peter Ramsey

Honorable mention goes to a pair of rookie pitchers. Starting pitcher Peter Ramsey, a Rule 5 acquisition, ranks second among JL rookies in ERA, ERA+, FIP, wins, BABIP, WHIP, and quality starts. He leads all JL rookies in strikeouts, K/9, and opponents batting average. Blazers' setup man, Wlodz Sidelsky, leads Johnson League rookies in saves and holds and ranks third in shutdowns. He has thrown 47.2 innings with a 3.21 ERA (130 ERA+) and a 1.09 WHIP. Sidelsky was selected in the seventh round of the 2057 amateur draft by Montreal.
