Kyle Higashioka has had one of the best Spring Training sessions so far. Higashioka has a .450 batting average this spring with five home runs and eight RBIs in 20 at-bats. This production is what the New York Yankees need this season as they look for more production at the bottom of their lineup.

#4. Francisco Lindor, New York Mets, SS
Francisco Lindor has had one of his best Spring Training's as he looks to bounce back a bit after a disappointing 2021 season. This spring, Lindor has a .400 batting average with four home runs and 10 RBIs in 25 at-bats. This includes 10 base hits and two doubles as well. This is a really good sign for New York Mets fans as Lindor looks to carry this stellar spring into the 2022 regular season.

#3. Paul Goldschmidt, St. Louis Cardinals, 1B
Paul Goldschmidt has had a breakout 2022 Spring Training. Goldschmidt is batting .526 this spring with three home runs and 20 total bases. Goldschmidt is notorious for getting off to a slow start and then heating up in the second half. If he can carry his spring performances into the 2022 season, look for him to be a top MVP candidate.
#2. Byron Buxton, Minnesota Twins, CF
Byron Buxton has had a monster spring. He is one of the game's best outfielders. He is looking to carry this momentum into the regular season. Buxton has a batting average of .407 with four home runs and 11 RBIs in 27 at-bats. Buxton will be one of the most exciting players to watch in 2022.
