Major League Baseball's stellar rookie class has continued to produce in the postseason. Texas' Evan Carter and Josh Jung, Philadelphia's Johan Rojas and Arizona's Corbin Carroll are among a handful of players who are playing important roles deep into October.
Philadelphia Phillies’ Johan Rojas is congratulated by Brandon Marsh after catching a long fly ball hit by Atlanta Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. during the seventh inning of Game 4 of a baseball NL Division Series Thursday, Oct. 12, 2023, in Philadelphia. Arizona Diamondbacks’ Corbin Carroll hits a broken bat single against the Philadelphia Phillies during the first inning in Game 1 of the baseball NL Championship Series in Philadelphia, Monday, Oct. 16, 2023.
“This kid is so poised,” Phillies manager Rob Thomson said. “He’s so good of an athlete, electric in the outfield. I felt like he was going to catch it.” He helped the surprising D-backs sweep the 100-win Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Division Series and advance to the NLCS, which is the deepest the franchise has played into the postseason since 2007.
Then there’s Jung and Carter, who have helped make the Rangers’ lineup among the deepest in baseball. The 25-year-old Jung was among the leading candidates for AL Rookie of the Year before a fractured left thumb in early August caused him to miss several weeks. “You have to be impressed with these two young kids, how they’re carrying themselves, handling the intense games that we’re playing in,” Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. “You wouldn’t know it with these two. I love their focus. They’re not afraid of anything.Texas shortstop Corey Seager said Jung’s return and Carter’s call-up provided the spark the team needed to snap out of a late-season funk.
