When Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was promoted to Triple-A from New Hampshire, he left the second last rung of the minor leagues having put up numbers that we’ve rarely, if ever, seen at the level. In 61 games played, the teenager hit .402/.449/.671 with 14 home runs, 19 doubles and 60 RBI. Truly video game numbers, and proof that he was more than ready for the next level of competition.
I’ll admit, I expected that he would slow down a bit in Buffalo, and maybe even show some signs of being human for the first time as a professional.
