There are plenty of options I could’ve went with here, but I decided to go with the Yankees Superstar RF that broke the AL home run record last year with 62 home runs. An amazing record that probably won’t be broken for quite some time. He’s dealt with injuries this season, unfortunately, but when healthy, he is one of the best players in the entire MLB.

2 – Fernando Tatis Jr. (Dominican Republic, 118 Players)

Tatis Jr. is only 24 years old but he already has an All-Star appearance in 2021 and is a 2x All-MLB First Teamer in 2020 and 2021. He also led the NL in Home Runs in 2021 and was the Silver Slugger in 2020 and 2021. This season Tatis Jr. is batting .260 with 19 HRs. I see no reason as to why Tatis Jr. can’t continue to improve and represent the Dominican Republic well.

Acuna Jr. may only be 25 years old but he continues to add on to his already excellent resume. He’s a 4-time All-Star with 2 All-MLB 2^nd Team nods while also being a member of the prestigious 30-30 club in 2019 at just age 21. He is the best player on the NL East-leading Braves and has them in excellent position for another deep playoff run.

Lindor is the 1st Puerto Rican-born Shortstop to win the Gold Glove Award. He signed a 10-year, $341 Million extension that keeps him with the Mets through the 2031 MLB Season.

Nicknamed “Air Yordan”, he has been nothing but spectacular since entering the MLB in 2019 when he won AL Rookie of the Year. A 2x All-Star in 2022 and 2023 while also being a 1x All-MLB 1^st Teamer and 2x All-MLB 2^nd Teamer, Alvarez will continue to be great for many years to come.
