The race for the National League Rookie of the Year is entering the home stretch, with Atlanta Braves catcher Drake Baldwin needing a last-ditch effort to stay ahead.
ESPN recently released its favorites for MLB award season, and Baldwin is considered second behind Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Isaac Collins for Rookie of the Year.
As recently as mid-August, Baldwin was looking like a runaway favorite. MLB.com writers named him a strong favorite with 24 first-place votes. At the time, Marlins catcher Austin Ramirez was second with four first-place votes, and Collins came in third with three first-place votes.
