In the April 4, 1994 issue of Sports Illustrated, we selected the MLB All-25-and under team. Each of the players chosen at the time had established a big league track record by the end of 1993. However, a couple of neophytes who came up for a cup of coffee in 1993 made a splash in '94 and beyond. The team was based on those players who had done the most in their careers up to the start of the 1994 season. Now with the benefit of hindsight we decided to revisit the team to see what changes we would make knowing what we now do.

SI's 1994 Under 25 and under team (ages on opening day 1994)

In 1993, Mike Piazza became the second of five consecutive Dodgers to win NL Rookie of the Year honors. Otto Greule Jr.

Catcher: Mike Piazza, Dodgers, 25
Arguably the best hitting catcher in history, Piazza won the NL Rookie of the Year Award in 1993 with a .318 avg., 35 HRs and 112 RBIs.

First Base: John Olerud, Blue Jays, 25
Olerud won the AL batting title in 1993 by hitting .363 and finished third in the AL MVP voting. He has had a solid-yet-unspectacular career.

Second Base: Carlos Baerga, Indians, 25
He was coming off a .321 avg., 21 HR, 114 RBIs year but his career plummeted when he was traded to the Mets in 1996. He has been a journeyman ever since.

Shortstop: Royce Clayton, Giants, 24
He batted .282 with 70 RBIs for the Giants three years before succeeding Ozzie Smith in St. Louis.

Third Base: Travis Fryman, Tigers, 25
A two-time All-Star, Fryman successfully made the shift from shortstop to third base.

Outfield: Juan Gonzalez, Rangers, 24
One of the best hitters of the 1990s, Gonzalez had yet to win either of his two MVP Awards but already had two seasons of 40 HRs and 100 RBIs under his belt. His .632 slugging percentage led the AL in 1993.

Outfield: Ken Griffey Jr., Mariners, 24
Junior was already in his fifth season when he was picked for the squad and he had driven in 100 runs and batted above .300 in three straight seasons.

Outfield: Gary Sheffield, Marlins, 25
He won a batting title in 1992 with the Padres and showed unbridled potential to get better.

Designated Hitter: Frank Thomas, White Sox, 25
Thomas posted seasons with 100 RBIs, .300 average, .400 on-base percentage and .500 slugging percentage from 1991 through '93.

LHP: Steve Avery, Braves, 23
He went 18-6 with a 2.94 ERA in 1993 but never won more than 10 games in a season again.

RHP: Mike Mussina, Orioles, 25
He showed great poise on the mound in 1992 but had a high ERA in 1993 (4.46). Has won exactly 200 games since the start of the 1993 season.

Closer: Rod Beck, Giants, 25
The Shooter saved 48 games in 1993 and would go on to save 51 for the Cubs in 1998 before arm problems derailed his career.
