1. J.T. Realmuto
   Yadier Molina
2. Buster Posey
   Russell Martin

J.T. was one of the Phillies' premier pickups before the 2019 season along with Bryce Harper. He hasn't disappointed so far with his new club. At the time of writing, he was hitting .280 with 19 home runs through 118 games.

Rhys Hoskins is only in his second full season in the MLB, but he's already made an impact with the Phillies. In 2018, he hit 34 home runs with 96 RBIs. His 2019 home run total may have taken a small step back, but he's still sitting on a .854 OPS through 120 games.

1. Jay Bruce
   Manny Machado

1. Juan Soto
   Trey Mancini
2. George springer
   Charlie Blackmon

Through his first two seasons, Soto has had at least 70 RBIs and 22 home runs. He's still only 20 years old, so expect him to continue to get better over the next few seasons. It's hard to believe he could potentially still be in the league in 2040!

1. J.D. Martinez
   Trey Mancini
2. George Springer
   Charlie Blackmon

J.D. Martinez hit a career high 130 RBIs in 2018. He also finished the year with 43 home runs. For most players, that would also be a career high, but Martinez hit 45 home runs in 2017 with the Tigers and Diamondbacks

1. George Springer
   Jose Altuve
2. Alex Bregman
   Trey Mancini

Trey Mancini has quietly been putting together a solid career with the Orioles. Through his first 119 games in 2019, he already has a career-high .877 OPS and 29 home runs. Since 2016, he's averaged an OPS of .806.

1. Paul Goldschmidt
   Kyle Schwarber
2. Bryce Harper
   Mike Trout

Paul Goldschmidt has been one of the most consistent National League hitters since 2011. How does a career .917 OPS sound? He's been having a bit of a down year in 2019, but is still on pace for more than 30 home runs.

1. Freddie Freeman
   Kyle Schwarber
2. Bryce Harper
   Pete Alonso

Kyle Schwarber is your classic slugger. You can pencil him in for about a .230 batting average and 30 home runs per season. He missed almost all of the 2016 season, but since then he's hit at least 26 home runs per year.

1. Bryce Harper
   Mike Trout
2. Freddie Freeman
   Pete Alonso

Bryce Harper had his most dominant season in 2015 when he took home the NL MVP award. He finished the year with a .330 average, 42 home runs and a staggering 1.109 OPS. His career .866 was enough to snag him a $300 million contract with the Phillies.

1. Rafael Devers
   Mike Trout
2. Juan Soto
   Freddie Freeman

Rafael Devers has been breaking out in the 2019 season. Through the first 123 games, he already has 27 home runs and is hitting .332. His career OPS through his first three seasons is .853.

1. Elvis Andrus
   Starling Marte
2. Pete Alonso
   Jarrod Dyson

Andrus put up a career-high 20 home runs in 2017. Like most shortstops, he's better known for his speed than his power. He has swiped more than 20 bases every year since 2009 except for 2019.

1. Mike Trout
   Kyle Schwarber
2. Nolan Arenado
   Bryce Harper

Few players can say they've hit more than 30 home runs five years in a row. However, that's exactly what Arenado did from 2015 to 2019 while racking up a career .293 batting average.

1. Starling Marte
   Christian Yelich
2. Pete Alonso
   Jarrod Dyson

1. Clayton Kershaw
   Patrick Corbin
2. Mike Soroka
   Charlie Morton

1. Mike Soroka
   Patrick Corbin
2. Charlie Morton
   Max Scherzer

Charlie Morton is in his mid-thirties now, but he's still pitching as well as he did in his twenties. Last season, with the Astros, he put up 15 wins with a 3.13 ERA. So far in 26 starts in 2019, he has 13 wins with a 2.77 ERA.

1. Max Scherzer

1. Luke Voit
   Tommy Pham
2. Jay Bruce

1. Yu Darvish
   Hyun-Jin Ryu
2. Masahiro Tanaka
   Shohei Ohtani

Besides in 2016, when he only played one game, Ryu has never had an ERA above 3.77. He finished 2018 with a 1.97 ERA in 15 starts, and at the time of writing, he was leading the league with a 1.64 ERA in 2019.

1. Josh Bell
   Eugenio Suarez
2. Nelson Cruz
   Cody Bellinger

Suarez made a name for himself in 2018 when he set a career-high in home runs (34), RBIs (104), and OPS (.892). He's putting up comparable numbers so far in 2019 and will likely break his career-high in home runs.

1. Nelson Cruz
   David Ortiz
2. Chris Davis
   Freddie Freeman

Some things in life get better with age, including wine, cheese and Nelson Cruz. He had his first 40 home run season when he was 34. He's now 39 and hasn't had fewer than 30 home runs in a season since then.

1. Ronald Acuna Jr.
   Pete Alonso
2. Freddie Freeman
   Christian Yelich

A lot of players manage to put up big numbers in one or two seasons, but Freddie Freeman has been consistent since 2010. Over his ten year career, he has a .884 OPS and .504 slugging percentage.

1. Cody Bellinger
   Christain Yelich
2. Pete Alonso
   Ronald Acuna Jr.

Ronald Acuna Jr. smashed 26 home runs in his first season in the MLB and is on pace for about 35 in his second. So far in 2019, he's put up numbers that might be MVP worthy if it wasn't for Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich.

1. Josh Donaldson
   Cody Bellinger
2. Josh Donaldson
   Pete Alonso

Pete Alonso broke the NL rookie record for home runs in 2019. At the time of writing, he had 40 home runs with 40 games left in the season. He's also on pace to surpass 100 RBIs in his rookie campaign.

1. Justin Turner
   Josh Donaldson
2. Mike Trout
   Cody Bellinger

1. Cody Bellinger
   Will Smith
2. Julio Urias
