Tyler Pastornicky – Young Phenom?

24-year old 2B Tyler Pastornicky has impressive 3 home run game at Miller Park

This rookie sensation has definitely made his presence known in the Atlanta Braves organization, even better, the Bigs! He put up an Atlanta Braves record with a 3 home run performance on his opening night in the Majors. With the 3 home run performance he was able to knock in 7 RBIs and had 1 strikeout. The Braves may have a gem in there hands in this young talent. When I interviewed him after his first Major League debut he had this to say, “I’m just so blessed to be apart of this team on opening day and to be given the opportunity here in Atlanta is truly amazing. I wasn’t apart of the world series contending team last year, but I hope to help this team in any way I can.”

Hall of fame?? – Not just yet, but I think it speaks volume what kind of talent this young kid has; for him to step up on the big stage like he did. His next performance wasn’t as nice as he went 0-3, but last night he followed that up with a nice 3-5 night and with 1 RBI.

Rookie of the year?? – Maybe, there are some young rookie talents in the league one being starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka. In 3 games it’s hard to evaluate something like that, but it definitely begs the question.
