"Hot Corner" is taking on a whole new meaning in 2022 with San Diego's Manny Machado, St. Louis' Nolan Arenado and Cleveland's Jose Ramirez among the best hitters in Major League Baseball.
Based on a combination of contact, power, plate discipline and baserunning, we've cobbled together a ranking of the current 10 best hitters in baseball. (Baserunning is less important than the other three, but that key component of baseball did give some guys a boost.) A report card grade has been assigned for each of the four categories, and rankings are loosely based on each player's average grade.
