Cleveland Guardians Promising Infielder 'Just Getting Started'

Brayan Rocchio's rookie season with the Cleveland Guardians was full of ups and downs.

There were times when he looked like a Gold Glove shortstop who could be an above-average contact hitter, and other times, he looked outmatched against the more experienced competition.

But remember, this was only his first full season in the big leagues. There's still a lot of room for growth for the promising young infielder.

Stephen Vogt recently spoke about Rocchio's development and progression and stated that he believes what we're seeing from the 24-year-old is just the beginning of what could be a great career.

"He really got after it this winter," said Vogt during a recent media availability.

"To have that confidence knowing, 'I know what it feels like to be a shortstop for 162. I know what it feels like to play shortstop in the postseason,' and he saw some success."

"For me, [Rocchio] is just getting started in his career. I think, for me, he's going to continue to learn every day out, every week, every month, every year, and I really love the way [Rocchio's] progressing."
