San Diego's rookie third baseman has been baseball's best first-year player thus far in 2018. Can he keep it up?
Coming into the 2018 season, there were a number of rookies who figured to make a big impact.
The Atlanta Braves' stud outfielder Ronald Acuna, the consensus No. 1 prospect in the game, was a superstar-in-the-making (and still is, by the way). The Philadelphia Phillies' Scott Kingery was playing everyday and got off to a fast start. The New York Yankees' Gleyber Torres was seen as a dynamic young star and, of course, there was the instant splash made by the Los Angeles Angels' Shohei Ohtani.
