TOP 10 HITTERS IN BASEBALL RIGHT NOW
Last week I talked about all the great pitchers we have in the game of baseball. With all those great pitchers their is still a lot of great hitters in the game. Lets take a look at who I think are the top 10.
10.) Melky Cabrera
Melky has come a long way. The one time number 9 hitter of the Yankees World Series winning team in 2009. Has become one of the better hitters in the game. He was at one time the worst players stats wise in the game, but now he is on pace to lead the league in hits.What makes it more amazing is the stadium he plays in is one of the most pitcher friendly parks in the game today.
9.) Robinson Cano
To me Cano has the best swing in the game. He can hit to all fields and ca hit for contact or power. Cano is just a great hitter. The line up he is in and the stadium he plays at helps him out as well. The protection in the line up helps Cano get better pitches to hit. Even when teams try to pitch around him Cano still gets the job done. Cano really has no weaknesses.
8.) Matt Kemp
10.) Melky Cabrera

8.) Matt Kemp
If healthy Kemp would be one. Kemp can very easily be the best offensive players in the game Kemp said before the year he was aiming to get 50 steals and 50 homers. To start the year was off to a crazy pace to get that. Unforchentely injuries derailed Kemp who looked early on to be the NL MVP. Lets hope Kemp can come back healthy and continue where he left off.
7.) Joey Votto
The former NL MVP and leader of The Reds. Votto is having another great season. Hitting for power and average Votto is showing this season that he is one of the leagues best. Votto is having a year like his MVP year a few seasons ago. If Votto keeps this up he can be looking at another MVP award.
6.) Adam Jones
To me Adam Jones is a future MVP and the next great player in baseball. He has all the tools for a hitter he can hit for power and contact. He goes to all fields. To me Jones is gonna be a star. He also plays in a very hitters friendly park. Jones to me has everything it takes in the next couple years to be the best hitter in the game.
5.) David Wright
What a difference two years make and moving in some fences make. Just last season David Wright was struggling and many people with in the Mets thought about trading him. Then the Mets moved in the fences and Wright worked hard in the off season now he leads the NL in average and looks like the old David Wright. Which is a great thing for Mets fans.
4.) Miguel Caberra
I think any other year or any other point in the year I rank him one, but the guys in front of him are on a roll. Caberra has everything you look for in a hitter. When you need a single he gets it. When you need a double he gets it. A homer he gets it. He has a chance for the triple crown every single year.
7.) Joey Votto
The former NL MVP and leader of The Reds. Votto is having another great season. Hitting for power and average Votto is showing this season that he is one of the leagues best. Votto is having a year like his MVP year a few seasons ago. If Votto keeps this up he can be looking at another MVP award.
6.) Adam Jones

When you need a double he gets it. A homer he gets it. He has a chance for the triple crown every single year.
3.) Carlos Gonzalez
Cargo is another guy who I think we are looking at the future of the game. Cargo is on tear this year. Hitting for power and average much like a couple years ago when he almost got the triple crown. Cargo looks to be playing that way again. What makes him more impressive is that his teammate and other big bat Troy Tulowitzki has been out most of the year and Cargo has still carried the lowed with little to no protection.
2.) Ryan Braun
The defending NL MVP is off to a better start then he was last year at this time. Which is impressive because this season he dosent have Prince Feilder in the line up. Braun Is looking like the front runner for the MVP again this year. Braun to me is on a mission this year to shut all the people up that said his MVP award was tainted because oif his failed drug test which was latter over turned.
1.) Josh Hamilton
It really is scary how good this guy is. He dosent just hit for power he launches the ball. The ball sounds different coming off his bat. Many people call him the natural because of how gifted and good he is. The only thing stopping Josh Hamilton from being even better is him self. If he keeps his head right and stays healthy we may be looking at one the most dominate hitters we ever seen.
Honerable mentions, Albert Pojuls , Andrew McCutchen, Mike Trout, Mark Trumbo, Carlso Beltran, Jason Kipnis, David Ortiz, Jose Bautista, Michael Bourn, and Josh Redick
