Bo Bichette quite literally has baseball in his blood. His father Dante spent 14 seasons in the MLB and was a four-time All-Star in his career. Bo was drafted by the Blue Jays in the 2016 MLB Draft and spent just two full seasons in the minors.

After being called up midway through the 2019 season, Bichette immediately burst onto the scene. He hit .311 and blasted 11 home runs in just 46 games played that year. He and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. soon looked like one of the most promising offensive cores in baseball.

Bichette's true rise to stardom was last season, where he led the entire American League in hits with 191. He also hit just shy of .300, had 29 home runs on the year, and received his first All-Star appearance. He was a crucial player on a Blue Jays team that won 91 games, the most since 2015.

Numbers like those are hard to beat so early into a career, but Bichette is still proving to be solid this season. If he keeps it up, he is likely to reach his second All-Star Game. Bo Bichette is just 24 years old and has a long career ahead of him. It is going to be very interesting to see how that plays out in Toronto.
