The continued development of Matt Wieters

I don't care if he's the next Johnny Bench or not. The Orioles' All-Star catcher keeps getting better and better.

He won a Gold Glove last season and improved dramatically as a right-handed hitter. He's tough, selfless and consumed -- maybe to a fault -- with making the pitchers better and keeping their confidence up.

And boy was it fun watching him gun down would-be base stealers last year.
