The 2010 baseball season was the Year of the Pitcher, at least according to pretty much everyone that wanted to shove that down our throats. In reality, 2010 was the Year of the Rookie. Many teams had rookies who had great seasons, and there were 7-10 rookies that would have automatically won the Rookie of the Year Award in any other year.
These rookies will become second-year veterans next year, and while some are expected to slump, some will remain great. This slideshow is not about these rookies who are already household names, like Jason Heyward or Buster Posey, but those young players who are on the brink of stardom, ready to prove that they belong in the league.
Who will be this year's Jose Bautista or Joey Votto? Here are ten breakout stars to watch during and after spring training.
