When witnessing great young talent, we oftentimes prefer to stay in the now rather than predict years in the future. However, some MLB players seem to have that special something very early on.

The Hall of Fame is the most prestigious individual accomplishment that a player can achieve. Only the best the sport has ever seen is granted access to this holy grail. It is safe to say that it takes a tremendous career, and a tremendous person, to make it into Cooperstown. Because of this, we often wait until a player’s career is dwindling down to assess whether or not they are Hall of Fame worthy. Not today, as we are going to look at the young guns of MLB.

Now, it is pretty absurd to classify someone so young this soon as a Hall of Famer. Anything can happen in the next however many years, and I may end up looking pretty foolish. But, like previously stated, some players just have that something special that screams future Hall of Famer. And yes, we are all currently thinking Mike Trout, but there are two other guys we are going to include as well. You may be able to predict one of them I am already thinking of, but the third will definitely be a curve ball.

Anything can happen to these players in their careers – they could regress, or forbid that they get injured. We have seen some of the greatest talents fall from grace, and some of the most promising players get injured. However, these three players will likely stand the test of time and eventually be inducted into Cooperstown.
