Torii Hunter Makes #5 of the Best Outfielders of 2010

There is an abundance of outfielders so far this season that are putting up huge numbers for their teams. Out of 20 hopefuls I narrowed the list down to five. Out of all the positions, outfielders are definitetly putting up the best stats this year.

5. Torii Hunter, Los Angeles Angels: Hunter is best known for his gold glove centerfield defense. This year, Hunter is now being recognized as a power threat in the middle of the Angels lack-luster offense. With the departure of Vladamir Guerrero and Kendry Morales’s stint on the disabled list, Hunter had to step up his game on offense to keep the Angels in the race for first and he’s doing just that. Hunter is hitting .288 with 12 home runs and 50 RBI’s. Hunter is leading his team in all three of those categories along with on base percentage-.362, slugging-.520, and doubles-22. The Angels are currently in second place in their division, three and a half games behind the Rangers. Thanks to Hunter, the Angels are right in the race for first, if the rest of the bats heat up, the Angels will be hard to beat
