Turang hasn’t slowed down following last season’s big year. This season, he’s doing it again with power and the ability to steal bases. He’s an early favorite to represent the National League in the All-Star game.

2. Brandon Lowe, Pittsburgh Pirates​

Lowe’s stayed healthy and produced via the long ball. He’s always provided power from the second base position. The question is whether he can stay healthy throughout the season.

3. Jose Altuve, Houston Astros​

The veteran doesn’t steal many bases at this stage of his career, but he still produces power numbers. Altuve will be among the league leaders at second base. Houston is relying on their veteran early in the season.

4. Ozzie Albies, Atlanta Braves​

Albies is starting quickly for an Atlanta team ready to compete for the NL East. Hitting near the top of the lineup, he will have every opportunity to produce. He will be a top 10 second baseman throughout the season.

Last season, Edwards showed the ability to reach base and rack up steals. He’s producing through this season’s first three weeks. Edwards will be a cog batting at the top of Miami’s lineup.

6. Nico Hoerner, Chicago Cubs​

Hoerner is an underrated second baseman. He doesn’t produce high home run totals like his counterparts. However, he gets on base and ends each season with a healthy number of stolen bases.

7. Cole Young, Seattle Mariners​

The rookie continues to produce after playing 77 games a season ago. He’s going to be a big part in Seattle’s hunt for the postseason. His name will be in contention for American League Rookie of the Year.

9. Jonathan India, Kansas City Royals​

He’s producing early in the season for Kansas City. He’s been a key contributor in the Royals’ lineup. Consistency will be the key throughout the season.
