Up until April 15 Niko Hulsizer was a name with which many, or most Dodgers fans were not familiar. He was selected by the Dodgers in the 18th round of the 2018 First-Year Player Draft as a junior out of Morehead State University in Morehead Kentucky.
He has now burst upon the scene with his three-home run game against the South Bend Cubs on Monday evening. For some his outburst would be considered to be just that, an outburst, and perhaps not reflective of his potential. However there were signs that this young man does have the potential to be a DJ Peters or perhaps a Yasiel Puig.
