1910 Top Under 30 Players
Jonathan Kinnunen, RHP:
3 time all-star and Pitcher of the Year and still only 28. He's a sparkplug with high work ethic, drafted 4th overall in 1904 out of UC Santa Barbara and has a 100 MPH fastball along with a curveball, slider, changeup, and forkball - all designed to get grounders.
Joe Hubbard, RHP:
The dominant college pitcher drafted 2nd overall out of Illinois is pitching even better since the last time we checked on him. He had a 7 WAR season in 1910 and finished 3rd in Pitcher of the Year.
Goran Williams, LHP:
Williams was drafted in the 4th round in 1903 out of Pitt. He was a 2-time all-star in college and has made the all-star team in the major leagues as well. He took a huge step forward in his skill level in 1907 which has put him near the top of the young arms in the game.
Bob Edge, 1B:
Edge was drafted by the Marlins in the 4th round in 1903 out of UPenn. He made it to the major leagues in 1904 and has played well ever since, winning two silver sluggers, one gold glove, and attending one all-star game.
Murray Gunnell, 2B:
The 1905 MVP and Rookie of the Year after spending time in college at Pepperdine. He was the 3rd overall draft pick in 1904 to the Yankees, has made 3 all-star teams and won two silver slugger awards.
Ash Ingle, 3B:
The top free agent on the market this offseason after putting together 5 above average MLB seasons. He played well at Florida State but didn't win any awards in college.
Ralondo Pantoja, SS:
He had three very good years with the Red Sox after getting drafted out of Illinois in 1903. However, he has fallen on harder times in more recent years and signed only a minor league deal with the Cubs.
Aiden Shelton, CF:
The youngest player and the only one to come out of high school on this list. He was drafted 1st overall out of an Oregon high school and quickly jumped into the major leagues where he began performing well right away.
Kadin Henderson, LF:
Drafted by the Phillies in the 2nd round from Arizona State, where he made an all-star team. He is a 3-time MLB all-star and won a silver slugger and gold glove.
