As we head into the last three weeks or so of the MLB season, it’s pretty clear which players have had the biggest breakout seasons in 2010.
This list consists of guys who weren’t really thought of as being star players prior to this year but really proved it this year.
There are some guys who were past the age where they were expected to break out (Aubrey Huff, Jose Bautista), some who showed potential but delivered on it for the first time this year (Mat Latos, Carlos Gonzalez), and some who weren’t even in the majors until the beginning or middle of this year (Buster Posey).
So, without further ado, here are the most surprising players/best breakout seasons of 2010.
