The month of May saw the bats heat up in a major way. Aaron Judge is continuing to be the best hitter on the planet with an absurd .342/.474/.882 slash line to go with 12 home runs and 25 RBI.
It would be too easy to include him on this list so here are three hitters who wish May wasn’t over and will look to carry their success into June.
Freddie Freeman, first base, Los Angeles Dodgers
The 2020 NL MVP, Freeman has been a threat with the bat since his debut in 2010. With a career batting average of .300, he is having one of his best seasons at the plate.
Freeman ends May with a .400 batting average with six home runs, 26 RBI and an eye-popping 17 doubles.
With a .346/.420/.588 slash line, 10 home runs and 35 RBI Freeman has played his way into National League MVP contention in 2023.
