Evan Longoria has been in the majors a long time now. It's been over a decade since he was originally drafted by the Tampa Bay Devil Rays with the 3rd overall pick in the 2006 draft. Longoria surged through the system and made his debut less than two years later and led the young Rays to the 2008 World Series while Longo picked up the American League Rookie of the Year award.
Since then, Longoria's production seemed to have peaked in 2012 and steadily his output has declined with his power seemingly to have disappeared. Now, with his sudden outburst of five home runs over his last four games, Longoria has 14 home runs.
