Ronald Acuna Jr., OF, Braves: He just missed going 40-40 in home runs and stolen bases in 2019 at the age of 21, finishing with 41 home runs and a league-leading 37 stolen bases. His ability at such a young age to punish breaking balls is impressive, as he had the ninth-highest wOBA in the majors against curveballs and sliders. He's got the flair and the bat flips to rile up opposing players and fans, which makes him a focal point in every game.
Pete Alonso, 1B, Mets: He broke Aaron Judge's rookie record with 53 home runs, won the Home Run Derby, then won over Mets fans with his shirtless celebrations and his "LFGM" rallying cry. Alonso understands his dual role as baseball player and entertainer, especially in a market like New York, which instantly turned him into one of the prominent faces of the sport. Not every player wants that role, but Alonso is willing and eager to accept it. The Mets have a chance to be really good and battle the Braves and Nationals in the NL East, especially if Alonso hits a bunch of bombs again.
Juan Soto, LF, Nationals: He posted a .401 OBP at age 20 in 2019 - the only other players to reach .400 in their age-20 season since Ted Williams were Al Kaline and Alex Rodriguez. Soto then ripped five home runs in the postseason, including three in the Nats' World Series win over the Astros. He's good, he knows he's good and he's going to get better. Washington has lost Bryce Harper and Anthony Rendon in back-to-back offseasons, so the Nationals are now counting on the 21-year-old to carry the offense.
