In Smaller Spotlight, Carlos Correa Has Continued Superstar Rise

Last year, Carlos Correa somehow lived up to the hype after beginning his major league career as baseball's best prospect. After that, it was only fair that there was a huge spotlight on him coming into 2016.

If anyone out there has lost sight of Correa since then, they should know two things: One, it's not your fault. Two, he's still really, really good.

Nobody knows this better than the Minnesota Twins. Correa is a big reason why they just dropped three out of four to the Houston Astros at Target Field. The 21-year-old cranked a two-run homer in a four-RBI day in a 7-5 win Tuesday, and he wreaked more havoc in both ends of a Thursday doubleheader.
