Steven Souza Jr. played three of his five Major League seasons with the Tampa Bay Rays, where he showed decent power.  Souza Jr. had 16 and 17 Home Runs in 2015 and 2016, respectively, and he would nearly double that with a 30 Home Run year in 2017.  As good as his power was, he never batted over .250, and his defense was just average.

Still, his 315 Hits with the Rays and 63 Home Runs, gains him a spot on this young team.
