Major League Baseball was blessed last year with a bevy of rookie shortstops entering the major leagues, led by Carlos Correa of the Houston Astros and Francisco Lindor of the Cleveland Indians.

This year's class has added another trio of rookie shortstops who are performing at high offensive levels, Corey Seager (Los Angeles Dodgers), Trevor Story (Colorado Rockies) and Aledmys Diaz (St. Louis Cardinals).

This year's rookie class also boasts a trio of successful starting pitchers, led by Michael Fulmer (Detroit Tigers), Steven Matz (New York Mets) and Kenta Maeda (Dodgers). And, although they haven't pitched enough to make this list, the promotions of pitchers Blake Snell of the Tampa Bay Rays, Jameson Taillon of the Pittsburgh Pirates and Julio Urias of Dodgers means this list could be different by season’s end.

One thing is for sure, unlike last season when Kris Bryant and Correa were front runners for the rookie of the year awards, this year looks like it will be one of the closest award races we’ve seen in a long time.

For now, here are the top 10 rookie performances in the first half of the major league season:

1. Corey Seager, SS, Los Angeles Dodgers
