Joey Wendle, Rays

Entering 2018 with just 36 career MLB games under his belt, the 28-year-old Wendle was one of the main catalysts in 2018 for a Rays team that surprised with 90 wins. He hit an even .300 with seven home runs, 33 doubles, and 16 stolen bases. Solid defensively all around the infield, his excellent 2018 garnered him a fourth-place finish in American League Rookie of the Year voting.
