Best hitter: Carlos Correa, SS, Astros
Correa went No. 1 overall in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft -- one pick ahead of Buxton -- first and foremost for his power potential. However, he has stood out more as a hitter than a slugger thus far in his pro career, batting .320 as the second-youngest regular (age-18) in the low Class A Midwest League in '13, and .325 as the youngest (age-19) in the Class A Advanced California League last year. He focuses on making consistent hard contact rather than worrying about home runs, using a short stroke and the entire field while displaying mature command of the strike zone.
Also in the running: Buxton; Jesse Winker, OF, Reds; Corey Seager, SS, Dodgers
