WPK Superstars, pt. 3
The youngest bonafide superstar in the WPK is San Antonio's 22-year old shortstop Bud Lindsay. The only other shortstop to earn the moniker is Portland's 26-year old Chris Tobin.
The only left fielder to make the cut for both the OSA and Meskill is Denver's veteran Ryan Rodgers. The OSA, however, also believes that Jacksonville's Hector Alvares merits the distinction.
There are two superstar center fielders in the WPK according to both the OSA and Meskill: Brooklyn's Felix Lopez and Washington's Lazaro Lowndes. Given that these two are the current reigning league MVP's, it should come as no surprise to see them on this list.
And that's it. Not a single right fielder made the cut for either the OSA or Nick Meskill. Several came close, with Seattle's Kyle Doss likely leading the way. But none are quite there yet.
You may have noticed that San Antonio kept popping up. They are tied with Jacksonville for most on the list with 3. And given that they all play up the middle- catcher, second base, shortstop- and are all 26 or younger (including 22-year old Lindsay), and the fact that they have another 22-year old just below this level as well as the great veteran starting pitcher Chris Hernandez, one would imagine things might be looking up for the Keys soon.
