In baseball, there is always the promise of young talents breaking out and becoming stars. Especially now as we have more young sensational talent around the MLB, there is always a young superstar around the corner.

Baseball has something special when it comes to young talent. No other sport has the hype built around minor league teams like baseball does. Young football stars come from the draft, and either sink or swim. The NBA has implemented the D-League in attempts to develop young talent into superstars. Despite this, the MLB still holds an allure with its farm system that can’t be matched anywhere else in America. This allure causes us fans to always be on the lookout for the next big break out stars. With so much youth talent, it is almost impossible for the game of baseball to run out of superstars.

Whether it be rookies that are finally getting a chance to test their worth in the big leagues, or a young player already in the MLB that is finding their footing, there always seems to be breakout superstars. That is why we have our Kris Bryant‘s, Mike Trout‘s, and Bryce Harper‘s. These guys now seem like veterans, but are all under 25 and are welcoming a new age of young talent. Every year we will see this trend in the game of baseball, and every year baseball’s talent pool will get deeper and more diverse.

With the new sensation of signing international free agents, there are so many outlets for MLB teams to bolster their teams. No longer do they need to settle with what they have, as they are quickly developing home-grown talent and scouting the world for the next superstar. The MLB has become worldwide, and that is causing the waves of youth talent to take over baseball. So, let’s take a look at the players ready to break out in 2017.
