The concern for any rookie in baseball, even the most talented of them, is that he will hit a wall and be unable to adjust. Souza entered the Tampa Bay Rays’ series with the Baltimore Orioles having managed just a .188/.297/.313 line in his previous 112 plate appearances and having taken over the major league lead in strikeouts. Did the Rays promote him too soon? Did they overestimate his talent when they dealt Wil Myers to get him? Much remains up in the air with regards to Souza’s future, but he is certainly reminding us of just how good he could become.
