If only all these position players could hit as well as Atlanta Braves pitcher Huascar Ynoa, we wouldn't be hyperventilating about the feeble state of batting averages across the majors leagues. The 22-year-old right-hander has now homered in consecutive starts, including a grand slam in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over the Nationals. Two starts ago, he doubled and hit an RBI single. He's 5-for-13 for the season with a .385 average and six RBIs.
He has more home runs and RBIs than Francisco Lindor, as many RBIs as Mookie Betts, more home runs than DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres combined.
