Yasiel Puig burst onto the scene as a bright-eyed rookie in 2013. He flashed all five of his tools in the immediate aftermath of his call-up. He played with a certain passion and flare that captured the hearts of the heavy Latino fan base of Los Angeles. He went onto have a remarkable season, finishing fifteenth in MVP voting and second in ROY voting behind the late Jose Fernandez.
Unfortunately for Puig, his debut season would be the best of his career. Mostly due to injury, but “growing up” on the job also factored into his regression. He did make his only all-star game during his sophomore season, but his season was still not as good as his rookie year.
