Justin Upton

Justin Upton was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks out of Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, Virginia. Upon signing a minor league contract with the Diamondbacks, including a $6.1 million signing bonus, he began his successful pro baseball career. Two years later he made his MLB debut at the age of 20, and has since become a two-time All-Star in 2009 and 2011. He has also won two Silver Slugger Awards in 2011 and 2014 as one of the top power hitters all of baseball. Upon played the first six seasons of his career in Arizona and played with the Atlanta Braves in 2013 and 2014 before being traded to the San Diego Padres in 2015. During his time in the league he has proved to be one of the top all-around hitters in the league, hitting for average and power and driving in runs as a middle of the line-up slugger. In 2009 he hit .300 with 26 homeruns and 86 RBI, and launched 31 homeruns in 2011 with 88 RBI. In 2014 he posted a career high 102 RBI with the Braves and hit a solid .270 with 34 doubles. At only 26, he already has eight MLB seasons under his belt, and is yet to hit his prime. Expect big things from Upton in the years to come.
