After several fans were injured at Fenway Park in 2015, the Boston Red Sox made some recommended safety upgrades, including expanded netting to protect fans from foul balls and broken bats.

Not all fans are happy about the changes, though.

Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper is a confident man, and he's also up on all things "new school." Basically, he is baseball's Cam Newton.

It was the first week of the season, a little early for bold statements. But Starlin Castro was already off to a great start with the New York Yankees, so why not?

"We want to be the best middle infield we can be," Castro said, referring to his new partnership with shortstop Didi Gregorius. "We want to be the best middle infield in the major leagues."

Major League Baseball isn't hurting for young stars these days. It has enough. More than enough, even.

But since more are on the way, you might as well get to know them ahead of time.

Cincinnati Reds shortstop Zack Cozart has gotten off to a solid start at the plate, but a leg injury may derail his progress.
