Maybe year 3 wil be his breakout year. IIRC it took till year 3 for Vlad Jr to truly break out.

His average is up 60 points. While is was below Mendoza last year, that's still a big jump in my book. Unfortunately, his OBP is only up the same 60 points meaning he's not talking more walks this year. His statline this year is similar to Bobby Witt Jr's rookie and age 22 season. Certainly room to pop next year though I tend to temper my slugging expectations from second basemen. I own none of his cards but would be tempted to grab some during the early off season. If nothing else, the type of player who will probably get some spring training speculation.
