Tampa Bay Rays: 3 hitters who will make their debut in 2019

Kean Wong, the brother of Cardinals’ second baseman Kolten Wong, is poised to finally make it to the big leagues in 2019. Wong has spent a majority of the past two seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays Triple-A affiliate, the Durham Bulls.

In 2018, the 23-year-old who can play a handful of positions including all 3 outfield positions, brought in 3 MVP awards.

  • Durham Bulls 2018 MVP
  • 2018 AAA All-Star Game MVP
  • 2018 AAA Championship Game MVP

2018 numbers at Durham:

116 G // .282/.345/.406 // 9 HR // 50 RBI

The issue for Wong is that Joey Wendle, Brandon Lowe, and Daniel Robertson can all cover second, base, third base, and the corner outfield positions.
