looking at athletes from across the
sporting world that are poised for big
years in 2019 number 10
Eli Jimenez only time will tell if the
Chicago Cubs decision to trade a low
Humana’s to their crosstown rival
Chicago White Sox in 2017 was the right
one for now all signs seem to be
pointing towards 2019 being human as his
breakout year the hard-hitting Dominican
outfielder left his mark on the minors
in 2018 recording 22 home runs 75 RBIs
and a batting average of 0.33 seven and
a hundred and eight games between stints
in the double-a and triple-a leagues
while he may not be as highly touted as
another baseball player on our list more
on him in a moment Jimenez looks primed
for a solid rookie season with the White
Sox number 9 aja Wilson after a college
career that saw her win nearly every
award a female basketball player can win
not to mention a national championship
aja Wilson made the jump to the WNBA in
her 2018 rookie season the six-foot-four
power forward averaged 20 points 7
points and 8 rebounds per game and was
voted to the all-star game she finished
the season as the league’s top rookie
prompting some to label her the future
of the WNBA it seems like the only thing
higher than the expectations for her
2019 season is her skill level on the
court number 8
Baker Mayfield even if Baker Mayfield
never plays another NFL game he’ll still
be remembered as a hero by the city of
Cleveland in his regular season debut in
week 3 he led the Browns to a 2117
comeback victory over the New York Jets
after starting QB Tyra Taylor went down
with an injury the wind gave the Browns
their first victory in 635 days as the
season went on Mayfield galvanized the
city with his impressive play and
positive attitude
two things Cleveland’s been missing for
some time now while he doesn’t yet have
the pieces around him to ensure
Cleveland becomes a perennial playoff
favorite his skill vision and poise
under pressure make him one to watch in
2019 number seven
Nikola yo kitch this 23 year old Serbian
big man has a very bright future ahead
of him a second-round pick in 2014
Nikolai yo kitch played 80 games in his
rookie season and finished third in
Rookie of the Year voting in 2017 2018
he set career highs in almost every
important statistical category including
points per game rebounds per game and
assists per game he’s kept up a strong
play to start the 2018-2019 season and
was named Western Conference Player of
the Week in week one a seven-foot Center
who can drive the lane and shoot with
accuracy yep we like this guy’s chances
in 2019 number six
Marcus rash bird trying to predict
whether or not a player will become a
superstar is far from an exact science
but when it comes to 21 year old English
footballer Marcus Ratchford we feel
confident that he’s well on his way to
becoming the next big thing in the
summer of 2018 prime time sports listed
him as the second most valuable player
in the world under 21 since 2015
Rochefort has netted 30-plus goals with
manchester united across various
competitions and in 2018 was an
important bench player for an English
national team that finished fourth at
the fifa world cup we wouldn’t be
surprised if he’s one of the leaders of
that squad at the next World Cup in four
years time number five
Patrick mahomes but Kansas City Chiefs
knew what they were doing when they
traded away a former first overall pick
in Alex Smith and started a young
quarterback who had just won NFL game
under his belt
Patrick mahomes took the league by storm
in 2018 and there’s no reason to believe
he won’t do it again next year the man
is a human highlight reel that can torch
defenses with his arm and his legs even
occasionally using his opposite hand to
make a play
he set numerous records during his
sophomore campaign and broke the Chiefs
single-season touchdown record and just
10 game
we feel sorry for whoever has to face
mahomes in 2019 number four Rasmus
Deline regardless of your sport
expectations will inevitably run high
when you’re drafted first overall but so
far
Swedish defenseman Rasmus Dalene has
lived up to the pre-draft hype his poise
on the back end has not only infused the
City of Buffalo with hope for the future
but has also kept the team in playoff
contention a position they haven’t been
in since 2011 whether they hang on to
that momentum remains to be seen but one
thing’s for certain Dylan has a long
career ahead of him and 2019 will likely
be the year he shows the hockey world
just how good he truly is number three
say Quan Barkley the New York Giants
quarterback situation might be uncertain
going forward but they are all set in
the running back Department say Kwan
Barclay is the whole package this Bell
cow back can run between the tackles
with explosiveness catch balls in the
flats and take them for huge gains and
block better than half the Giants o line
the second overall pick at the 2018 NFL
Draft Barclay has had a fantastic rookie
season scoring with consistency and
punishing opposing defenses with his
bruising style of running he appears
poised for an even stronger outing in
2019
especially if the Giants can compliment
his play with a consistent passing
attack number 2 Vladimir Guerrero jr.
like father like son the progeny of Hall
of Fame slugger Vladimir Guerrero Lonnie
jr. appears to have inherited his
father’s gift for smack in the crap out
of baseballs the 19 year old Toronto
Blue Jays prospect has been called the
future of baseball thanks to his
remarkable hitting ability in 2017 he
was named prospect of the year by ESPN
and in 2018 led the minors in hitting
slugging and o-p-s the Blue Jays appear
to have a sure thing in Guerrero jr. and
it’s only a matter of time before he
starts making his presence felt in the
majors with all signs pointing to a
breakout rookie campaign in 2019 before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions
[Music]
number one Killian and BAP a what can we
say about this football phenom that
hasn’t already been said Killian and
buffets electrifying play has drawn
comparisons to everyone from tige to
Pele after a strong 2017-2018 season in
which he helped lead palaces Alma to a
league our title a Coupe de France and a
Coupe de la Ligue the budding superstar
exploded under the bright lights of the
2018 FIFA World Cup he played an
instrumental role in helping France
captured their first title in 20 years
finishing with four goals and walking
away with the tournament’s best young
player award topping the success he
achieved in 2018 will be a tall task but
if anyone’s up for it it’s Killian and
babay do you agree with our picks check
