Oh, the season 2018 could have been for San Diego Padres outfielder Franchy Cordero. After winning the Rookie of the Year and MVP awards in the Dominican Winter League last year, Cordero earned his way into the Padres lineup and provided some highlight reel moments during his short stint with the major league ballclub. Elbow surgery seemed to end Cordero’s season as quickly as it had started.
Before surgery, Cordero appeared in 40 games, hitting .237 with a .307 on-base percentage and a .439 slugging percentage. He jacked seven home runs, five doubles, one triple, and stole five bases.
