3. Jesus Aguilar

Jesus Aguilar has been the Brewers best hitter this season. And that’s remarkable considering he began the season as a backup and someone who figured to struggle seeing at-bats on a nightly basis.

Similar to the Brewers’ team, Aguilar didn’t let that get him down and proved his worth at every opportunity he got. Thanks to an injury to Eric Thames, Aguilar was given an opportunity to play every day and took full advantage of it to the tune of making his first All-Star game.

Aguilar should be able to continue this pace and provide the power the Brewers need at the plate. He’s been one of their most dependable hitters and most reliable RBI producers. He’s truly shouldered a big load in Milwaukee this season. The Brewers need him to keep up that torrent pace, as their offense has been extremely anemic as of late. Hopefully, he’s able to step up to the plate.
