If you somehow missed Ronald Acuna Jr. winning the National League Rookie of the Year and generally beginning his rise to superstardom with Atlanta in 2018, don’t worry.

Watch Julio Rodriguez right now, and you’ll basically get the same effect.

The Seattle Mariners’ 21-year-old center fielder came in as B/R’s No. 3 prospect with an exceptional package of tools that include dynamic power and speed, and the hype surrounding him was set at maximum at the outset of the season. Despite a slow start, he’s more than living up to it by way of a 137 OPS+, 15 home runs, 21 stolen bases and 3.5 rWAR.

The most recent of those home runs was a doozy. Rodriguez got a changeup from San Diego Padres left-hander Sean Manaea on July 4 and hit it to the top of the Western Metal Supply Co. building at Petco Park.
