The resemblance is almost scary.
“Yeah, he looks just like him, doesn’t he?” Diamondbacks General Manager Dave Stewart said, nodding his head.
It goes beyond the looks and the identical 6-foot-3, small-waist and wide-shouldered frame. Gabriel Guerrero, the new 22-year-old outfielder in the Diamondbacks organization, walks, talks, swings and has the same cannon for an arm as his famous uncle, former major-league slugger Vladimir Guerrero, who is nearly 20 years his elder.
Just like his uncle, he doesn’t use batting gloves and he’s never seen a pitch he didn’t like.
“Jesus,” Stewart said.
