It's been a long time since baseball has seen an explosion like this of top rookie talents making an impact like this sooner than later. During the span of the first few months of the season, 6 of the top 10 top prospects have made their presence felt. The Cubs 3B Kris Bryant and Astros SS Carlos Correa won ROY honors from their respective leagues. In addition, Cubs first round draft pick, Kyle Schwarber, has made such a tremendous climb up the charts that he made such an impact towards their quest of clinching a postseason berth; he made an impact in the NL Wild-Card, the division series and the championship series.
In the second-half of the season,we saw the arrival of the Dodgers highly talented shortstop:Corey Seager, Mets 2014 first round draft pick: OF Michael Confronto, highly touted pitching prospects in the Yankees Luis Serevino and the Phillies Aaron Nola and the much hyped Cuban prize: Hector Olivera
