The MLB draft dominated the baseball world this week, as teams, talking heads and eager fans rushed to project the tools and future prospects of a bunch of untested high school and college kids.

In case you’re new here: These are the players—one per position, including a starting pitcher and designated hitter—who blew up box scores over the past seven days.
To qualify, a player needed at least two starts at the position in question, or one start in the case of pitchers. While this is mostly about individual output, we award bonus points for gaudy stats that translated to ticks in the win column.
Tear yourself away from your draft board, knock the dirt off your cleats and proceed when ready.
