Looking at the longest current hit streaks this morning, the list is dominated by rookies and young players. Robbie Grossman of the Astros leads with a 12-game streak, and right on his heels is Khris Davis, at 11. Davis is especially hot, with five homers, nine runs scored, ten RBI and a .432 BA during the streak. Junior Lake of the Cubs, another rookie, is working on an eight game streak, putting three rookies in the top eight. The 20-year-old Bryce Harper also comes in with an eight-game streak, and while not a rookie, is young enough to still be in the minors (he’s also the youngest person in the top eight).

We could be seeing the future with Grossman and Davis. Robbie did a great job of getting on base in the minors. While he probably won’t hit for much power, the ability to draw walks should give the Astros a solid table setter. Davis looks like the complete package, although at age 25, he comes to the majors in his prime. There’s not a lot of room left for improvement.
