SPECULATOR: 31-day-surgers, 2016 hitters

Evaluating any 31-day period is a speculative exercise. But most players who have surged over the last month will now get plenty of rope and time to extend their performances. This week, we hone in on some of the most productive hitters over the past 31 days—all of whom are producing at loftier-than-anticipated levels—and weigh in on their chances of continuing their momentum. We used HR, BA, OPS and SB as jump-off points into our hitter universe, and found some interesting names and situations. All statistics quoted are from the most recent 31 days ending June 9, unless specified. We'll perform a similar exercise for pitchers next week.
