Carlos Correa burst onto the Major League scene in 2015 with the Houston Astros. That year, his 22 home runs and 68 RBIs were enough to get him selected as the American League rookie of the year.
Correa went on to play six more seasons with the Houston Astros, in which he would record 133 home runs and 489 RBIs. This was enough to send the Puerto Rican to the All-Star game twice, once in 2017 and once in 2021.
This past offseason, his contract with the Astros was up. Although they were keen to keep the shortstop in their hands, Correa wanted to leave. After he led them to the World Series finals in 2021, Correa turned down a multi-million-dollar qualifying offer from the Astros.
Correa eventually signed with the Minnesota Twins, penning a contract that would give him $35.1 million for each of the next three years. Correa scored his first run, hit, homerun, and RBI in the Twins' 10-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Target Field on Saturday.

Young Kylo will grow up watching his dad play the game with a level of skill that many can only aspire to. Perhaps one day Kylo Correa will be playing in the big leagues, making millions, and giving his own adorable son a pre-game kiss.
