After joining the Los Angeles Dodgers for the final month of the regular season and playoffs in 2015, Corey Seager assumed a full-time role with the club last year. He entered the 2016 season rated the consensus No. 1 prospect in baseball.
Seager shouldered the Dodgers offense while Adrian Gonzalez and Justin Turner were slow out of the gate, all the while playing steady defense at a premium position. The 22-year-old played his way to a unanimous National League Rookie of the Year selection, and finished third in NL MVP voting.
As it turns out, Seager accomplished as much without his best swing.
