Miguel Sano, 3B, Minnesota Twins

Price: $3,700

Over the last 15 days, nobody with at least 10 batted-balls has posted a higher average exit velocity than Miguel Sano. If we expand our view to the whole season, Sano still sits in first.

He already showed an ability to make some huge contact in his first two big league seasons with hard-hit rates north of 40.0%, but his batted-ball profile is especially absurd this season. He owns a 55.3% hard-hit rate and 2.1% soft-hit rate to go with a 44.7% fly-ball rate through 97 plate appearances.

He'll be up against Oakland Athletics right-handed hurler Sonny Gray, who is making his first start of the year after finishing 2016 with a shaky 4.32 SIERA and career-worst 33.6% hard-hit rate. This provides Sano a boost in value while he's also sporting a pretty low price tag.
