Thames has displayed massive power, leading the bigs in several offensive categories, and there are reasons to think his insane start isn't a total fluke.
Eric Thames is the talk of baseball.
Yet, here he is, smashing balls out of the park in much the same way he did in Korea, where he hit a combined 124 home runs over the last three seasons.
But that was Korea. This is the majors. Surely, Thames, who had not played in a Major League Baseball game since 2012, wouldn't continue to do the same against the very best pitchers in the world, right?
