Last fall, I predicted who I thought would be the breakout hitters, starting pitchers, and relievers of 2018. I got several right, a few wrong, and some have yet to play for the Eugene Emeralds, who started their season on June 15. And there were of course a few I did not foresee. Here are this spring’s breakout players of the first half.
Hitter: Jared Young
He tore it up in August last summer at Eugene and I thought that would carry over to this year at South Bend.
