Jason Heyward of the Atlanta Braves only needed one at bat to signify that he had arrived in the Majors. In the rookies first at bat he smashed a home run to left field at the Braves opening day. The 20 year old Lefty is being touted as the quote "next big thing in baseball" as reported by ESPN baseball analys Buster Onley. He is already getting comparisons to Ken Griffey Jr. and Albert Pujos. Atlanta Braves Brian McCann said about Heyward, "he is by far the best 20-year-old ive ever seen, and the way he handles things is like nobody ive ever been around". This guy is just as good at the plate as he is in the outfield and I personally will be looking forward to watching him play all season.
