Born: November 8, 1989 (age 22)
Team: Miami Marlins
Position: OF
His real name is Giancarlo Cruz Michael Stanton, we know him as Mike Stanton, no not that RP that used to pitch for the Yankees.
On June 6, 2010 at age 20 year (212 days) Stanton became the second youngest player, behind only Miguel Cabrera to break into the big leagues with the Marlins, and has never once looked like he didn't belong. In his first season (100 games) Stanton put up 22 HRs, 59 RBIs and hit .259. He followed that by last year hitting .262 with 34 HRs and 87 RBIs. He is still just 22 years old and could be a guy who hits 40 HRs every year. Most guys at 22 are still in AA, and this kid is raking HRs. His RBIs totals will only rise as this team starts to put better players on the field around him.
We could very easily be looking at the next Pujols type player here.
