There are few who qualify for the ever-so-rare #EnFuego status, but A.J. Pollock is one of them. Last week, the Diamondbacks center fielder hit .400 with an on-base percentage of .419 in the two-hole for the Diamondbacks. Not to mention, he also stole four bases, three of those coming in one game against Miami. Slowly but surly, Pollock is turing into a ideal two-spot hitter. He has a knack for getting on base and turning those chances into runs. During the Diamondbacks recent 6-1 stretch, he has been huge, scoring nine of the Dbacks 35 runs or 22 percent of their offense.
