The hype surrounding Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is at an all-time high right now as MLB’s No. 2 ranked prospect continues to crush it on a daily basis at the Double-A level. The 19-year-old currently owns a .423 batting average and a .475 OBP to go with eight home runs and 45 RBI in 40 games and he’s only getting better with each passing day.
One person who understands what it takes to be an everyday baseball player as a teenager at the Major League level is two-time AL MVP Mike Trout, who joined the Los Angeles Angels’ roster as a 19-year-old. With the Angels currently in Toronto for a three-game series with the Blue Jays, Trout was asked by TSN’s Scott Mitchell how the Jays should handle the prospect moving forward and if there’s any advice he would give him right now.
The 2012 AL Rookie of the Year knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a superstar at the Major League level, especially right out of the gate, so the young Blue Jays prospect should definitely soak in all the advice he can get from someone like Trout.
