Apparently all you need to be a Rookie is:
130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues.
or 45 total days on an active Major League roster during the Championship Season (excluding time on the Injured List)

Not a very high bar

Right, but I believe he does not have any official rookie cards in 2016 for whatever reason. Aaron Judge may be in the same boat?

Oh, I don't know how Rookie cards are defined, given that Bregman has cards going back to 2010.

He certainly has plenty of 2016 cards, but I have no idea if they are considered rookie cards: https://www.tcdb.com/Person.cfm/pid/...tName=&sBrand=

The official RCs have the RC logo on them. Anything earlier is considered a prospects or minor league issue. Sometimes it makes no sense.

Interesting. I didn't realize that Lindor was already at 50 WAR. I wouldn't be surprised if Mookie Betts is the guy who makes it to 100 -- and that Mike Trout doesn't make it all.
