Pirates: Carter Bins, C (Unranked), Salt River Rafters
Bins may be a glove-first catcher, but his bat has been red-hot in the desert. The 25-year-old clubbed his first homer of the fall campaign on Oct. 10, and hasn’t slowed down since. He recorded his third multhit game in seven contests and his second three-hit performance. Bins got going early, swatting an RBI single in the opening frame and following that up with a double in his next at-bat. In limited appearances, the Fresno State product has posted a .357 BA and 1.079 OPS.

Hurtubise drove in three runs to help lead Surprise to victory. The 2019 39th-round pick got going with a run-scoring single in the sixth. He came up huge for the Saguaros in his next at-bat, swatting a game-tying two-RBI double in the eighth to set up the eventual go-ahead runs. Hurtubise is coming off a season in which he posted a .961 OPS between Double-A Chattanooga and Triple-A Louisville.
Rockies: Sterlin Thompson, OF (No. 6), Salt River Rafters
Thompson’s 55-grade hit tool has been on full display this fall. The 22-year-old added to his already impressive campaign with three more hits, all coming in the first four innings. Thompson added an RBI in the ninth on a sacrifice fly. The 2022 first-round pick has been on a roll since the Fall League began, recording a hit in 12 of his 14 games, including six multihit performances.
