• Outfield: James Wood, Nationals; Yordan Alvarez, Astros; Jordan Walker, Cardinals

  • These three outfielders have risen above expectations, with Wood showcasing remarkable power and Alvarez proving his worth as a top hitter.

• Designated Hitter: Pete Crow-Armstrong, Cubs

  • Despite early struggles, Crow-Armstrong's improved plate discipline has made him a valuable asset.

• Relief Pitcher: Jacob Latz, Rangers
