MLB is flush with young talent. Who are the 10 best players under the age of 25?
Major League Baseball has seen a young wave of talent over the past few seasons to rival any class of young players in the past. These players are not only the best in their age group but some of the best in the league. Before we begin looking at the top ten MLB position players under the age of 25, here are two players worth mentioning that didn’t quite make the cut.
Odubel Herrera, 24:
Odubel Herrera is a bright spot on a rebuilding Phillies team this season. He has hit .285 this year, getting on base at a solid rate while playing great defense. Herrera is one of those surprise players that teams hope to find in their system or through trades. Herrera may not be putting up groundbreaking numbers but he is quietly becoming a very good player.
Carlos Correa, 21:
Sophomore slump? Whether it is a sophomore slump or just a very young player making adjustments, Correa’s best seasons are ahead of him. As soon as he becomes a bit more consistent with his hitting he will easily be considered one of the best shortstops in the league.
