Chase Utley, Philadelphia Phillies
Chase Utley isn’t only the hottest hitting second baseman, he’s the hottest hitting player in the major leagues – period. He’s hitting .357 with 13 homers, 26 RBIs and 28 runs scored. On top of that, he has a .432 on-base percentage. The 29-year-old has arguably been the best player in baseball in 2008.

Ian Kinsler, Texas Rangers
Ian Kinsler has really been hitting the ball well as of late. For the season, he has two homers, 14 RBIs, 21 runs scored and a batting average of .288. The 25-year-old is quickly becoming one of the better players at his position in the American League.

Chone Figgins, Los Angeles Angels
Although he hasn’t hit a homer or a triple yet this season, the Angels’ second baseman is hitting the ball well. Chone Figgins is hitting .306 with nine RBIs, 18 runs scored and 11 stolen bases.

Dan Uggla, Florida Marlins
Earlier in the 2008 season, Dan Uggla was struggling so much that some in Florida were wondering whether he would hold onto his starting job. Since then, however, Uggla has turned it around. On the season, he’s hitting .267 with seven homers, 19 RBIs and 18 runs.
