Sometimes it can be hard to remember that Delmon Young is just 24-years old. He’s currently playing in his fourth full season at the Major League level and his fifth season overall.
↵Last season, his second with the Minnesota Twins, Young by many standards underperformed. He did however end the 2009 season on a high note, hitting .340 with 4 homeruns and 18 RBI through the months of September and October.
↵Now halfway through this 2010 season, Young has continued his late-season success, surpassing several of his totals from last year before the end of July.
