Odubel Herrera
After a red-hot start, a poor stretch for Herrera in June derailed any hopes of being selected for the All-Star game. However, Herrera, who averaged 15 home runs and 50 RBI over the last two seasons, has already reached those numbers before the All-Star break.
Of course, Herrera still has his “head in the clouds” moments, there’s no denying he’s performed better than most expected thus far this season. He’s on pace to reach 27 home runs and 93 RBI, while 30 and 100 are not out of the question.
A fixture in the middle of the order, Herrera’s performance is vitally important moving forward. Hitting behind Rhys Hoskins, a hot Herrera will give Cesar Hernandez and Hoskins more pitches to hit, which should translate into a more potent attack.
