Baseball’s back and it’s exciting.
While everyone’s interested in hits and home runs, let’s take a moment to appreciate another side of the game. The, uh, physical side of things – if you can catch my drift.
Here’s our list of the hottest 15 Major League Baseball players for 2018:
Matt Kemp
Age: 33
Position: Outfielder

Noah Snydergaard
Age: 25
Position: Pitcher
Team: New York Mets
Noah Syndergaard’s nickname is Thor and he’s dressed up as the character on a few occasions. Besides both having Fabio-like locks and big frames, the Mets have even embraced his love for the Marvel comics character when they released a Snydergaard bobblehead dressed as Thor.
