Astros at Diamondbacks: 5 Players to Watch
By Thomas Lynch
He has the makings of being one of the most special players in the game. Though only called up on June 8th, Correa has had a year that would make a ten-year veteran proud, never mind a 20-year old rookie. He has 21 home runs in only 375 at-bats and has an on-base plus slugging (OPS) of .847. Correa is the front-runner to win the Rookie of the Year with some competition from fellow shortstop Francisco Lindor of Cleveland. Correa was the #1 overall pick of the 2012 Draft; the D-backs can only dream that their own #1 overall shortstop pick, Dansby Swanson can make an impact like that.
