Let’s not sugarcoat it, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is obliterating Double-A pitching. With a season slash line of .435/.485/.726 (yes, you read that right), 10 home runs and 48(!) RBI through 43 games, the so-called “Son of the Impaler” is making a rather difficult sport look easy.
In addition, he’s also smashed a league-leading 17 doubles, has a league-leading 73 hits and has struck out just 17 times in 168 at-bats. These are unbelievably impressive numbers, regardless of who they’re coming from.
But let’s not get carried away. Vladdy Jr. is 19 years old, making him the youngest player in the Eastern League.
