MLB Hot Bats
MLB Hottest Bats, Daylen Lile Leads the Week

Daylen Lile 
Steven Kwan 
Geraldo Perdomo 
Tristan Peters
Hitting is contagious, streaky, and gloriously unfair, and the only honest way to track it is the box score. From the last seven days of captured games, minimum 8 at-bats to qualify, here is who is genuinely hot.
The hottest hand
Daylen Lile (WSH) is seeing beach balls. He has collected twelve hits in his last 28 trips to the plate over seven games, good for a .429 clip, and the at-bats keep getting louder.
It has not been one loud afternoon doing the work, either: the pace comes out to 1.7 hits per game across the run.
The power has traveled with the average, too, three home runs in the stretch, with 9 RBI to show for it.
The chase pack
Steven Kwan (CLE) is making noise of his own at 12-for-29 (.414) with three RBI.
Geraldo Perdomo (ARI) belongs in the conversation too at 11-for-26 (.423) with three RBI.
Add Tristan Peters (CHW) to the watch list as well, 10-for-21 over the stretch with five homers and nine RBI.
Also swinging it well: Fernando Tatis Jr. (SD) 10-for-27, Ezequiel Duran (TEX) 10-for-23, Carson Benge (NYM) 10-for-25.
By the numbers
The five hottest qualified lines, side by side:
| Player | Team | Line | AVG | HR | RBI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daylen Lile | WSH | 12-for-28 | .429 | 3 | 9 |
| Steven Kwan | CLE | 12-for-29 | .414 | 0 | 3 |
| Geraldo Perdomo | ARI | 11-for-26 | .423 | 0 | 3 |
| Tristan Peters | CHW | 10-for-21 | .476 | 5 | 9 |
| Fernando Tatis Jr. | SD | 10-for-27 | .370 | 2 | 6 |
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, Washington Nationals face Miami Marlins next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
