At 20 years old, Wander Franco’s confidence is through the roof.
He had the MLB’s logo tattooed on the side of his neck in February, long before his call-up.
He bought a white Rolls Royce with the $3.8 million signing bonus he received as a 16-year-old and, after spring training this March, drove it himself from Port Charlotte to Durham for his Triple-A assignment.
Seven weeks later, he rolled up to Tropicana Field in the Rolls Royce on the day of his MLB debut.
But that’s the confidence you’d expect from baseball’s top overall prospect.
“I want to give 100 percent of what I’ve got,” Franco said via the team’s Spanish interpreter Manny Navarro. “Just continue with the work that I’ve been doing and hope it turns me into a superstar.”
