ONLINE EXTRA: VYPE Hot Sluggers Bonus List No. 21-40

In baseball terminology, there are hitters and there are sluggers. While all sluggers are usually considered good hitters, good hitters aren’t necessarily sluggers. We’re not talking about singles hitters running up averages. We’re talking about sluggers. Guys who swing with swagger, knocking down fences and knocking in runs,.

With the season winding down, and teams battling for playoff positions, here’s our take on the area’s top sluggers, giving added weight to power categories like home runs, extra-base hits and RBIs, as well as, strength of competition.

Some of the area’s biggest names have slumped and previously unheralded players are putting up breakout seasons.*

Whether it’s hitting the long ball, or driving in runs, no pitcher likes to look down from the mound to find one of these guys stepping into the batter’s box.
