Forbes released its annual “30 Under 30” list this week, and the 2018 sports version features a perennial batting champion, an All-Pro wide receiver, a No. 1 overall NBA draft pick and more.
According to Forbes, the list highlights “the athletes and entrepreneurs in the sports world changing the game on and off the field.” All of the folks named, as you might have guessed, are under 30 years old.
