For those who don't follow current MLB news:
Davis Schneider was a relatively unknown prospect- I can't find a pre-season farm ranking that has him in the top 20-30 of the Jays middling farm system- who was called up to the big leagues at the beginning of August without any real fanfare or expectations. His first MLB AB was a home run over the Green Monster, and since then he has continued the unprecedented offensive explosion to start his MLB career: through his first 21 games he is hitting .403/.535/.881 with 7 HRs, good for a 1.415 OPS and 282 OPS+, along with tying the modern-day MLB record (1900-present) by getting on base 46 times in his first 21 games.

So now I'm curious- who are the random prospects who had no hype in your leagues who ended up taking the entire baseball universe by storm? Did they crash and burn, go on to have reasonable major-league careers, or turn into bonafide unlikely stars?
