Top 40 Rookies of last 5 Years

[jduds]

This is my ranking of rookies from the last five years in terms of how excited I would be to pull one of their cards. That means it is a mix of both long-term potential and current place in the hobby. I'm curious to see who I forgot (I'm sure there is a glaring oversight) and also to see if there are any that people feel I am way off on (like 5 spots or more). Overall, 2021 only has 3 players, 2022 has 8, 2023 a robust 10, 2024 a massive 14, and 2025 a paltry 5.
