THE HOT DUDE REPORT

Happy Sunday. Everyone loves the Hot Dudes, so I figured there’s no better time to get them up and moving. In this article were putting a full unit on the HRRs and a 1/4 unit on the HRs

Now sure, you could argue that Shohei could just permanently be on this list so I don’t have to waste everyone’s time, but he actually spent a portion of this year being rather cold. Not anymore, though.

Over his last 6 games, he’s done it all: 9 runs, 9 hits, 4 dingers, and 8 RBIs. Playing on the South Side of Chicago again with an opening total of 10.5, I expect Shohei to be involved once more.

HR +220

2: Yordan Alvarez — Houston Astros

Look, I get it, man. Another guy who could permanently be on the list. Kind of boring, I guess. But I do not give a hoot.

Yordan is PIPING hot. In his last 10 games, he’s tallied 9 runs, SEVENTEEN hits, 3 dingers, and 12 RBIs. Going against a Royals pitching staff that he and his teammates have already feasted on in this series, I expect more of the same from Yordan.

HR +325

3: Jackson Chourio — Milwaukee Brewers

I would argue Jackson Chourio and his team are in pretty similar positions: both really good, potentially underrated, and not getting enough love.

The Brewers have World Series potential, and Jackson is one of the best—if not the best—hitters on the team. He’s also a Hot Dude. In his last 6 games, we’re looking at 6 runs, 14 hits, 4 dingers, and 9 RBIs.

HR+670

4: Ceddanne Rafaela — Boston Red Sox

After giving you some household names in the first three entries, I had to get in my bag a little bit with Ceddanne.

The Red Sox have had a disappointing year for the most part, but he has turned it on as of late. He has 15 hits in his last 10 games, and in this series against the Rangers, he already has a home run and 5 RBIs.

HR+800

5: Alec Burleson — St. Louis Cardinals

Could’ve added a few dudes from the Lou on this list, but I’m going with Alec, who is currently riding a 13-game hitting streak.

In his last 10 games, he has 12 runs, 5 home runs, and 12 RBIs. Underrated player, underrated team. Let’s see if he stays hot against the Twins’ below-average pitching staff.

HR+400
