Today is one of my favorite holidays of the year, America’s National Pastime, Major League Opening Day!
Looking forward to this year’s season, the Marlins are gonna suck still lol, but there will be some intriguing storylines to keep up with throughout the year.
Lots of great young talent has been developed & ushered in over the last few years & IMO Baseball is returning back to its glory years when there was great prospects & Elite caliber players on nearly every roster. Pretty much every team has a legit Star they can root for, even if their team overall is bad.
I’m a Marlins fan & can’t wait to see what kinda season Jazz Chisholm puts together, but Vlad Guerrero Jr is my favorite player in the league; but there’s dozens of players around the league that I’m a fan of. Adolis Garcia, Michael Harris II, Oneil Cruz, Randy Arozarena, Tim Anderson, Luis Arraez, Luis Robert Jr, Julio Rodriguez, Francisco Lindor, Joc Pederson, Vinnie Pasquantino, Teoscar Hernandez. Jose Ramirez, Cedric Mullins, Jorge Mateo & many more.
Also looking forward to seeing the young potential breakout guys like Jordan Walker, Ronny Mauricio & Geraldo Perdomo.
As for Pitchers, Kyle Wright is up there among the best in the league, Sandy Alcantara has CY Young capability if the Offense is halfway decent, Julio Urias & Alex Manoah are also lethal, Martin Perez is another one that if his team is halfway decent can be a CY Young caliber pitcher. The big question will be, can Justin Verlander at 40 keep pitching at an Elite level like he did last year? And will young Power-Arms like Hunter Greene & Marcus Stroman take the next step?
Should be a great season on hand, what teams you guys root for & what are your thoughts/expectations for the season?
