Xavier Scruggs, Springfield
(.538/.600/1.538, 5 G, 7-for-13, 1 2B, 4 HR, 10 RBI, 5 R, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 SB)
A 19th-round pick out of UNLV in 2008, Scruggs blasted 22 homers for Springfield last year. He's well on his way to surpassing that mark in 2013, going deep four times this week to give him nine in his first 25 games of the campaign. The 25-year-old slugger homered twice and drove in five runs against Arkansas on Monday before adding a long ball on both Wednesday and Saturday. Scruggs ranks second in the Texas League in home runs and is fourth with a .622 slugging percentage.
