Top 5 Favorite MLB players
By Benton McGill (Nelson County Baseball)
1. Max Scherzer – The complete pitcher for any young kid to watch, mixed pitches and locates everything.
2. Aaron Judge- There is only one player taller than him in MLB history, Randy Johnson, and he plays everyday and never is injuried.
3. Jose Altuve – Went to several MLB tryouts and no one wanted him, kept working hard and now is the frontrunner for MVP every year.
4. Bryce Harper – One of the most versatile and athletic players in the game. Always plays hard.
5. Trae Turner – Rookie who was thrown in the fire after some injuries and stepped up to the challenge and is someone kids should look up to.
