Balbino Fuenmayor had himself on heck of a 2015 season. The then 25-year-old Venezuelan had been a top international signing for the Toronto Blue Jays, but topped out at AA in 2013.
After playing independent league ball in 2014, the KC Royals signed him to a minor league deal. Fuenmayor then hit .358/.384/.589 with 17 home runs in 360 at bats for AA NW Arkansas and AAA Omaha before a torn ACL ended his season. Fuenmayor also named to the Futures Team in what looked like a breakout season for the big first baseman.
