A number of minor league baseball players are having excellent seasons, but some are putting up numbers that are almost hard to believe!

This week has been the week of many of the all star games for the various minor league baseball leagues. It gives a reasonably half way point in the season to examine which players are doing well, which are struggling, and which are somewhere in the middle.

Today, we’re going to look at a collection of players who have been putting up those amazingly positive numbers – so good, in fact, that one would think minor league baseball had been put on “easy” mode in a video game for these players!

Francisco Mejia, C, Cleveland Indians

Mejia put himself on the national map last season when he had a 50 game hitting streak. This season, he’s simply built on that, turning into the complete hitter that the Indians had hoped that he could become on top of the already elite defensive catcher that he is.

Mejia is currently hitting .366/.410/.611 with 8 home runs and 5 stolen bases. He’s also posted a strikeout rate under 15%.

Mejia has done all this at 21 years old in AA, putting him on the doorstep to the major leagues.

Let’s take a look at some of the others who are having big seasons!
