I'd say for a kid in his 2nd year of MLB, he's pretty high-profile. Not to mention he was one of the young stars of the game.
What more profile do you need?

And all that is great but he is not a household name like A-Rod or Jeter. This is baseball; there are not many players that everyone knows who they are. So if something happen to the two players I mentioned I would not be surprised that more attention would be mentioned about a rules change. With all that being said, they are not going to change rules in this matter. MLB is likes to act like tradition makes them special.
