Is Miguel Sano Baseball’s Next Young Star?

There is a glut of young talent in the big leagues right now between guys like Bryce Harper, Carlos Correa, and Manny Machado, so it’s understandable that Miguel Sano, who didn't debut in the Majors until July, would be overlooked.

However, based on what he did in half a season last year, he shouldn’t be.

Sano made his big league debut for the Minnesota Twins on July 2nd after playing 66 games in Double-A, the highest level he reached in the minors. He went on to slash .269/.385/.530 with 18 home runs, 52 runs batted in, and 46 runs scored in 335 plate appearances in 80 games.
