I don’t know that there’s ever been a more hyped prospect in Toronto than Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and this time last year he was just getting started on his MLB career.
The kid had absolutely dominated at every level of the minor leagues, and finished his MiLB career with a .331/.414/.531 slash line across 289 games, keeping in mind this was from the ages of 17-20. There were loud calls for him to get promoted in 2018 when he was tearing apart Double-A pitching with a better than .400 average, but it wasn’t until Apr. 26th of last year that we finally got to see him in a Blue Jays uniform for a regular season game.
