Juan Soto

Soto had multiple hits in six of the nine games of his current hitting streak, and he’s also hit six home runs in that same span. His 38 homers have helped keep the Mets in the thick of the National League playoff race, and his performance will likely have a lot to do with how well New York fares down the stretch.

Nick Kurtz

With his next home run, Kurtz will become only the 33rd player in major-league history to rack up 30 homers in his rookie season. The favorite to win American League Rookie of the Year honors has thrilled fans and collectors all season with his prodigious power. Twice, he has launched a baseball 447 feet into the stands.

Baker Mayfield

Mayfield came out firing in Week 1, and he kept slinging the pigskin until the final minute of the fourth quarter to make sure his Tampa Bay Buccaneers came away with a victory. Mayfield threw the game-winning touchdown with 52 seconds to play in a 23-20 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

Payton Tolle

Consecutive Weeks on Hot List: 🔥🔥

Tolle had a rough go of it in his second career start, but fans and collectors still have faith in the September call-up. His electrifying debut showed off his potential, and with the Red Sox itching to make the postseason, Tolle’s place on the mound will be crucial down the stretch.

A’ja Wilson

The Las Vegas Aces have won 14 straight games, and a lot of that success centers around Wilson, a three-time MVP. She has scored 30+ points in each of her last three games and has reached the mark eight times during the winning streak, which is tied for the fourth-longest in WNBA history.

Jack Hughes

Hughes has been a prolific scorer for the New Jersey Devils throughout his career, and the 24-year-old center is looking to push his team into the postseason in back-to-back years for the first time since 2010. Returning this fall after shoulder surgery in March, Hughes has plenty to prove.

Devon Levi

The 23-year-old goaltender still hopes to prove his worth in the NHL, despite limited opportunities thus far. The former seventh-round draft pick was recently signed to a two-year extension in Buffalo and will hone his skills in the AHL while waiting for his chance on the NHL ice.
