Connor Wong

Connor Wong genuinely snuck up on me — I wasn't sure what to make of him when the Red Sox started giving him more time behind the plate, but the kid has quietly turned into one of the more fun catchers to watch in the American League. Born in 1996 and a late bloomer who bounced around every position but pitcher in the minors, there's something scrappy and earned about the way he plays. His arm is a legitimate weapon, he's not afraid to call a bold game, and you can tell pitchers trust him. He's not a flashy name you'll hear in MVP conversations, but he's exactly the kind of gritty, versatile player that contending teams quietly depend on. Quietly rooting for him to become a Red Sox fixture for the next decade.
