Nearly a decade ago, Correa was a precocious two-way force at shortstop, joining the likes of Francisco Lindor, Corey Seager, and Trea Turner for what felt like a golden era at the sport's most exciting position. Now, while that group remains in the thick of its prime, Major League Baseball seems to be entering into another shortstop renaissance. Henderson and Witt have emerged as the faces of it.
Both were in high school five years ago. Henderson, less than three weeks removed from his 23rd birthday, finished baseball's first half with a .286/.373/.584 slash line, 28 home runs and 6.1 FanGraphs Wins Above Replacement, trailing only Judge for the major league lead. Witt, who turned 24 in mid-June, is slashing .323/.369/.558 with 16 homers and 22 stolen bases. His 5.7 fWAR ranks third.
