Did you know that Jake Bauers used to be a top prospect? The new Seattle Mariners first baseman and outfielder was at one point the 43rd ranked MLB prospect, and the 4th ranked prospect in the Tampa Bay Ray organization.
I remember even adding him to my fantasy baseball team as soon as he was called up to the big leagues. But since making his MLB debut in 2018, it has been a rough go for Jake Bauers.
