When Baseball America released their aptly titled list of “sleepers” from the minor league systems of each MLB organization, one would expect to find a household name that would, in a tongue-in-cheek manner, be suggested as “underrated”.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr. evidently topped the list as the top hitter in the organization, and young hurler Sean Reid-Foley was named best pitcher in the organization. The “sleeper” was a tad surprising.
Kevin Vicuna, 20, has been impressing all season long with the Low-A Lansing Lugnuts. While it’s no surprise that he’s being recognized, it is somewhat surprising that he’s being picked up at such a young age.
