Tampa Bay Rays’ outfielder Randy Arozarena’s breakout performance in the 2020 MLB playoffs could be the greatest postseason run of all time and could jumpstart the 25-year-old Cuban’s potential superstar career.

Arozarena set the MLB record for home runs in a single postseason with 10, while setting the franchise home run record in just his first season. Arozerena also recorded 27 hits in the 2020 playoffs, surpassing Pablo Sandoval’s previous MLB record for hits in a single postseason.
