It has been well-documented that this World Series lacked star power.

But you know what wasn’t lacking? Young talent and potential future stars.

Covering the first two games of the Fall Classic last weekend in Texas, it was striking how much of an impact a handful of young players were making for each team.

The Diamondbacks had plenty of them: 23-year-old outfielder Corbin Carroll, batting either leadoff or second, and flying around the bases; 23-year-old catcher Gabriel Moreno, batting third and looking more and more like an absolute steal from the Blue Jays; 23-year-old outfielder Alek Thomas, terrific in center with a bat that can play; and even 24-year-old shortstop Geraldo Perdomo, a slick defender who makes some noise in the nine-hole.
