It's tough to say just how valuable postseason experience can be when the MLB playoffs roll around, and for rookies it's a whole new ballgame.
One of the biggest storylines of the 2015 MLB season has been the influx of high-end rookie talent, and that story should continue to play on into October with more than a few first-year players poised to make a significant impact for their respective teams.
With that in mind, the following is a look at the 20 rookies who will be under the most pressure to make a postseason splash.
To elaborate, players are not ranked based on who has had the best regular season or on who may have the best career ahead of them.
Instead, they are simply ranked on who is expected to make the biggest impact when the playoffs begin next month.
*Note: For the sake of this exercise, we assumed that the 10 teams currently in position to make the postseason will in fact be the 10 teams playing in October. So you won't see any Twins, Angels or Indians players on the following list.
