Maikel Franco of the Phillies owns the third longest active hitting streak in the majors, ten games. He is killing the ball with a .425 BA and an .850 slugging percentage, with four home runs and five doubles among his 17 hits.

Franco may turn out to be another young gun in the game. His minor league record as a whole is not that impressive, a .280/.329/.456 slash line, power without a great ability to get on base. He was always young for his level, however, and tended to improve with time. In 2013, at seasonal age 20, he started creaming A+ Ball, and carried it over to AA. Last season at AAA he struggled getting on base (also in a short stint in the majors), but his year lit up AAA. After struggling in May, he seems to have gotten the hang of major league pitching. He’s someone to watch, and could be a long-term solution at third base for Philadelphia.
