Ryan Black and Ryan Wynn have really turned it on towards the back half of the season. Both of them are near the 10 home run checkmark and have put together great at-bats. Kenny Ishikawa has been extremely impressive. He has the least amount of strikeouts in the country, and his OPS is extremely high.
