Dmitri Young(Nationals):
For Dmitri Young, finding his groove this year has been all about at-bats -- and getting plenty of them. Young is on a month-long tear as of late, adding two hits Tuesday night to bring his total to 27 over his last 26 games.

Alberto Castillo(Orioles):
Alberto Castillo has had a life full of defining moments, but he'll still hold a special place in his heart for his big-league debut. Castillo, who defected from his native Cuba at age 18, has persevered through Tommy John surgery in his right elbow, seven years of Independent League baseball and assorted bouts of rejection to get to his current point.
