The final position player on the 2019 player reviews is the utility man Sam Haggerty. He was part of the small crew the New York Mets called up in September. Haggerty’s story went viral when Syracuse manager Tony Defrancesco gave a compelling speech to Haggerty about him getting to the big leagues for the first time.

Haggerty spent the last five seasons working his way up through the minor league ranks for the Indians and Mets.
