Alec Bohm 
Pete Alonso 
Luis Arraez
Forget the season-long averages for a minute; hot is a right-now thing. Every line below comes straight from the last seven days of box scores, with a 8 at-bat minimum so nobody sneaks on with one good afternoon.
The man of the moment
Jordan Walker (STL) is seeing beach balls. He has collected 13 hits in his last 29 trips to the plate over seven games, good for a .448 clip, and the at-bats keep getting louder.
Spread it out and that is 1.9 hits a game, every game, for the whole stretch, not one big night propping up a quiet week.
Add three home runs and 10 RBI, and you have a hitter carrying his corner of the lineup.
Right behind him
Then comes Alec Bohm (PHI): 13 hits in 26 at-bats, a .500 clip with one homer and eleven RBI.
Pete Alonso (BAL) has quietly gone 12-for-27 (.444) with four homers and eight RBI.
And Luis Arraez (PHI) has strung together 11 hits in 26 at-bats (.423) with one homer and five RBI.
Filling out the board: Henry Bolte (ATH) 11-for-27, Yandy Diaz (TB) 10-for-27, Corey Seager (TEX) 10-for-21.
The board
Here is the top of the board, straight from the box scores:
| Player | Team | Line | AVG | HR | RBI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Walker | STL | 13-for-29 | .448 | 3 | 10 |
| Alec Bohm | PHI | 13-for-26 | .500 | 1 | 11 |
| Pete Alonso | BAL | 12-for-27 | .444 | 4 | 8 |
| Luis Arraez | PHI | 11-for-26 | .423 | 1 | 5 |
| Henry Bolte | ATH | 11-for-27 | .407 | 1 | 4 |
The fine print
A word on the cutoff: hitters need 8 at-bats and multiple games in the window to make this list, which keeps one-night wonders off the board.
Nobody stays this hot forever, and the box scores will tell us the moment it cools. Until then, enjoy the show.
The schedule cooperates, too, St. Louis Cardinals face Philadelphia Phillies next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
