That goes to Matt McLain, who socked another pair of homers for AA Chattanooga on Sunday. In fact, if you’re like me and willing to throw out the 0 for 7 start to the season he had (because it makes it all look that much more fun), he’s hitting .318/.405/.746 (1.151) over his subsequent 18 games, with 5 dingers, 6 doubles, and 3 triples to his name.
He has the credit on his ledger already of being a twice-drafted 1st rounder, is the exact same age as Hunter Greene, and if there’s one thing we should all be allowed to get excited about around this dismal corner of the baseball world, it’s that McLain is already knocking on the door of the big leagues right this very minute.
