Prior to the 2016 season, Baseball America ranked Trent Grisham as the 49th-best prospect in all of baseball. Since then, he’s lost the luster of a Top 100 talent – but someone forgot to tell him.

The San Diego Padres outfielder hit .251 last year, but really did a little bit of everything. In the shortened season, appearing in 59 games, the former first-rounder swiped 10 bags, hit a career-high 10 home runs and won the first Gold Glove of his career for his defensive work in center field.
