2019 Little Hero of the Year

Wander Franco has always been able to hit. He hit .325 in 2019 and managed to lower his career batting average. His .339 average was the best among all Florida State Leaguers with 200 or more plate appearances. He did that while being four years younger than the average FSL hitter and a year younger than anyone else in the league. Franco has always had a knack for being his team’s vocal leader. It’s partly because of his talent, but it’s also because of his high-energy personality. He is exceptionally competitive in whatever he does, and he’s comfortable in the spotlight that has followed him ever since he signed as the No. 1 prospect in the 2017 international amateur class. It helps that he’s part of a baseball family-—his older brothers (both also named Wander) are also minor leaguers, and his uncle is longtime major league shortstop Erick Aybar and his friend and neighbor is Indians infielder Jose Ramirez.
