ANALYSIS: This is Alex Kirilloff's debut on this list. He's had a tough time establishing consistent playing time and consistent production at the plate this season, but the lefty may have finally turned a corner. Kirilloff has hit safely in five of his six appearances this past week. That includes four multi-hit performances, four home runs, and eight total extra-base hits during that span. While he remains in a strong-side platoon, the Twins have rewarded Kirilloff with a top-three spot in their batting order.

Overall, Kirilloff boasts an impressive .284/.372/.468 slash line with eight home runs and a 135 wRC+ through 63 games this season. That includes a strong .343 xwOBA, .271 xBA, and 10% walk rate. Kirilloff showcased more prolific power numbers during his minor league days, so the 25-year-old may only just be starting to unlock his potential.
