20 Hottest Last Ten
When judging the performance of a prospect or minor league position player at the plate, player development people usually look most-closely at what the player has done over his last ten games rather than over the entire season, since the whole point of playing in the minor leagues is for a player to improve as the season progresses. (For starting pitchers, it's the last three starts, and for relievers, it's the last six outings).
Here are the 20 hottest Cubs minor league position players at the plate over their last ten games (BA/OBP/SLG):
