Duke Basketball: Marcus Stroman compares Zion Williamson to Vlad Jr.

It was a historic day in Major League Baseball as the top prospect in the minor leagues, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. made his Major League debut for the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday night against the Oakland Athletics.

If you are a baseball fan, it’s very easy to make the connection, as Vlad Jr.’s father is Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero, who began his career with the Montreal Expos and then with the Los Angeles Angels before being inducted into Cooperstown in 2018.

As for the game on Friday, former Duke Baseball star Marcus Stroman was on the mound for the Jays and he was coming off of a start against the same Oakland A’s team just five days ago.
