After far too long, MLB Opening Day is finally here.

MLB Opening Day is upon us. The most glorious day of the year when we leave winter behind and embrace the spring. The crack of the bat, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the delicious refreshments of choice that will be consumed at the park or in front of the TV. BASEBALL IS BACK.

There will be ace match-ups, star performances, and many unexpected twists throughout the 2019 season. The Red Sox will seek to defend their title in the American League against the fierce competition of the Yankees, Rays, and Astros. Meanwhile, in the National League, the Dodgers will seek to make their third World Series in a row, while the Nationals and Cubs try to reclaim their respective divisions.

Now there is plenty of excitement outside of your favorite team throughout the entire league.  This post will talk about the guys you need to be watching during the 2019 season. With the advent of MLB.tv, watching teams across baseball is now easier than ever. If you like watching one of the greatest players to ever suit up, seeing 100 MPH fastballs or hitters with light tower power, whatever your poison is, MLB has you covered today and throughout the season.

With MLB Opening Day upon us, let us take a look at some of the players to watch this season.
