Spring Training is here! Opening Day is soon! And our fan engagement platform, CrowdBreak, is heating up.
Based on CrowdBreak social data analysis + BreakingT shirt sales history + our general baseball enthusiasm, these are the 10 players we're most excited to watch and wear in 2024:
1. Shohei Ohtani (Shop Shohei)
The best player in the game enters Year 1 of his $700 million deal, for the Dodgers no less. Need we say more?
2. Elly De La Cruz (Shop Elly)
Last year's phenom outsold all other rookies in 2023 and inspired nine different BreakingT designs.
3. Juan Soto (Shop Soto)
We've been shuffling with Soto since 2018. Can't wait to see what he'll do alongside Aaron Judge in the Bronx.
4. Ronald Acuña Jr. (Shop Acuña)
How will he follow 10-40-70? (70 steals ... 40 homers ... 10 different BreakingT shirts that sold > 100 units)
5. Evan Carter (Shop EC)
No one broke out bigger last October than the Texas rookie. Now we get a full season of Full Count Carter.
6. Gunnar Henderson (Shop Gunnar)
Elly may have been last season's top-selling rookie, but Gunnar wasn't far off for the Baby Birds.
7. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (Coming soon!)
The Dodgers start off in South Korea vs. the Padres March 20. Expect the Yamamoto shirts to drop then!
8. Bobby Witt Jr. (Shop Witt)
Went from ROY votes in Year 1 to MVP votes in Year 2. What does Year 3 hold in store now that he has the biggest contract in Royals history?
9. Julio Rodríguez (Shop J-Rod)
After a sensational rookie season, his buzz, t-shirt sales and on-field performance dipped a bit last year. We may be looking at this summer's MVP, though.
10. Spencer Strider (Shop Strider)
Baseball's new strikeout king and one of our top-selling pitchers. Can he get to 300 K's this year?
