Jorge Polanco is one of several young MIN bats worth building around.

Post-hype bat Kennys Vargas emerged as the most skilled hitter in the AL during the month of July, and it was a surge that came with full underlying support.

Sandy Leon's recent power surge has not come with the support of his underlying power metrics.

Francisco Lindor is one of several young, high-upside bats whose monthly skill growth in the first half bodes well for big things from them down the stretch.

The top-shelf power of Jarrett Parker against righties over the last 12 months makes him an intriguing power stash, even in the absence of a regular role.

The skills of former top prospect Wil Myers exploded in June, putting him on pace for an age-25 breakout if he can stay healthy.

Javier Baez's immense power upside is in full display in low-pressure situations, giving hope that he's an adjustment or two away from becoming an impact bat.

Miguel Sano's wide none on/runners on splits give hope that he could be in store for a big second half if he can make a tweak to his approach.

Steve Pearce turns into one of the most well-rounded and productive hitters in the game when he hits on the road. A closer look at him and several other unheralded types worth using when the situation warrants.

With an adjustment against righties, Stephen Piscotty would set himself up for a huge finish to the 2016 season.

Gordon Beckham is one of several guys that you wouldn't expect to be on a list of the most skilled bats during May.
