Question 1-

When do you consider a players jersey eligible for rookie year status? Is it the MLBA rookie of the year qualifiers?

The MLBA spec stats:
To qualify for the award a player must exceed neither of the following, before the season under consideration:
  • 130 at bats or 50 innings pitched in the major leagues
  • 45 days on the active roster of a major league club (excluding time on the disabled list or any time after rosters are expanded on September 1)
Second question-
If they don't qualify for the rookie of the year, then does that mean the jersey is a debut jersey?

Third question-
Which is worth more a debut jersey or a rookie jersey and why?

Cheers,
