The 2019 season was relatively successful for a 20-year-old Vladimir Guerrero Jr., even if he didn’t tear the league apart during his rookie year like so many thought he might. However, there was nothing wrong with his .272/.339/.433 slash line over 464 at-bats, and there are plenty of reasons to think he’s got a big year ahead of him as a sophomore.
In order to take that big stride from MLB regularly into a potential All-Star, Vlad Jr. has a few areas of his game to work on. Not surprisingly, his defence was among the worst in the big leagues in 2019, and he’ll need to improve at the hot corner if he wants to stay there long-term.
