The hottest hitting prospects from each team

With the Minor League season winding down, this is the last time this year MLB Pipeline will be looking at the hottest hitting prospects in the Minors.

All year, we’ve been picking the hottest hitter for each organization over the preceding month. While there was no one quite as consistent as a hitter as Andrew Painter was on the pitching side, there are a number of hitters who became regulars in this monthly feature.
