Domingo Santana

Domingo Santana is the kind of player who makes you realize how much raw talent can get lost in organizational shuffle. He bounced through the Astros, Brewers, Mariners, and Indians systems without ever quite getting the sustained shot his tools deserved — then exploded for 30 home runs and 85 RBI with Milwaukee in 2017 and you thought, okay, here we go. It never quite took off at that level again in the States, but the fact that he eventually landed in NPB with the Tokyo Yakult Swallows feels right — a fresh stage for a guy with serious pop and a swing that was always more impressive than his stat line suggested. Late-career reinventions in Japan are underrated, and Santana's one of the more interesting cases.
