Turang hasn’t slowed down following last season’s big year. This season, he’s doing it again with power and the ability to steal bases. He’s an early favorite to represent the National League in the All-Star game.
2. Brandon Lowe, Pittsburgh Pirates
Lowe’s stayed healthy and produced via the long ball. He’s always provided power from the second base position. The question is whether he can stay healthy throughout the season.

Last season, Edwards showed the ability to reach base and rack up steals. He’s producing through this season’s first three weeks. Edwards will be a cog batting at the top of Miami’s lineup.

The rookie continues to produce after playing 77 games a season ago. He’s going to be a big part in Seattle’s hunt for the postseason. His name will be in contention for American League Rookie of the Year.
