MLB Hot Bats
MLB Hottest Bats, Rafael Devers Leads the Week
Published
Rafael Devers 
Steven Kwan 
Daylen Lile 
Luis Garcia Jr.
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 man of the moment
Rafael Devers (SF) 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.
Add three home runs and 8 RBI, and you have a hitter carrying his corner of the lineup.
The rest of the hot list
Steven Kwan (CLE) is making noise of his own at 12-for-26 (.462) with two RBI.
Do not overlook Daylen Lile (WSH), 11-for-24 over the window with three homers and ten RBI.
And Luis Garcia Jr. (NYY) has strung together 11 hits in 23 at-bats (.478) with two homers and six RBI.
Also swinging it well: Drake Baldwin (ATL) 11-for-26, Elly De La Cruz (CIN) 11-for-25, George Springer (TOR) 10-for-19.
By the numbers
Here is the top of the board, straight from the box scores:
| Player | Team | Line | AVG | HR | RBI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rafael Devers | SF | 12-for-28 | .429 | 3 | 8 |
| Steven Kwan | CLE | 12-for-26 | .462 | 0 | 2 |
| Daylen Lile | WSH | 11-for-24 | .458 | 3 | 10 |
| Luis Garcia Jr. | NYY | 11-for-23 | .478 | 2 | 6 |
| Drake Baldwin | ATL | 11-for-26 | .423 | 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.
Small samples run hot and cold by nature. Treat this as a snapshot of who is seeing it well right now, not a forecast of anyone's next at-bat.
One to circle: San Francisco Giants meet Atlanta Braves in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
