BJ Upton?

...or are you talking a pitcher who started a game?

 

[LineTamer+]

Just a player

Was it Mike Morgan Oakland A's?

 

[LineTamer+]

Jones and Upton were both 19.

Morgan was 18 but the year was 1978.

 

[Noreaga+]

Griffey seems obvious but I think he was 19

We have a winner

Arod started 17 games as a 18 year old. Went 11 for 54 with a .204 avg and no Homeruns.

Has a legit shot at breakingthe hoerun record without any enhancements.

381 to date, at age 28.
