CHRIS OWINGS – SS/2B
A slow start long forgotten, Chris Owings is currently one of the hottest hitters in all of baseball. The past week alone, the second-year infielder is hitting .500 and after amassing a measly .227 average in April he’s turned things around in May to hit .333. While Owings hasn’t seen as much playing time as the beginning of last year, his offensive turnaround should result in more playing time, especially with the offensive ineptitude of fellow infield-mate Nick Ahmed.
