Hitting a team-leading .301 at the plate this season, Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner is seventh in Major League Baseball in batting average and is on a torrid pace in September hitting .385 with nine multi-hit efforts in his last 16 games. Hoerner, in his seventh season with the Cubs, has posted four straight 100 hit seasons and is seven hits away from equaling his career high of 175 hits in a season set back during the 2023 campaign. The 28-year-old Oakland, California native was a first-round pick by Chicago in the 2018 MLB Draft after starring at Stanford.

After a breakout season in 2024, Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz has posted career highs this season with 82 RBIs and is currently hitting a career high .261 at the plate. De La Cruz is one home run away from his second consecutive 20/20 season after becoming the seventh player to steal 100 or more bases before turning 23 years old.
