Rookie ball round-up from Florida Complex League action

The Florida Complex League wrapped their season on Saturday. That natural break provides us with an excellent opportunity to check in on the Tigers’ up-and-comers who spent their season representing one of the team’s two squads in the FCL. Although many of the players who spend time there aren’t household names yet, it’s a very young league and serves as baseball’s first step in dividing the men from the boys, particularly among international signees.

Older guys are generally expected to perform well and players age out quickly but struggling at this level of competition doesn’t break a career.
