Trea Turner
SS PHI
Turner is hitting .344/.422/.522 with five home runs and nine steals in 181 plate appearances with Double-A San Antonio.
Turner is riding a 12-game hitting streak that has helped boost his batting average to second among active players in the Texas League. It is hard to say how much luck has gone into his .344 average, as his .408 BABIP obviously raises a red flag, but Turner has plus-plus speed and hits everything hard, so it may not be too inflated. While he continues to play for the Padres' affiliate at Double-A for the time being, Turner will be allowed to join the Nationals' organization on June 13, completing a trade that was agreed to this offseason.
