However, it's not just about these two stars. The Royals' Vinnie Pasquantino and Hunter Renfroe have shown they can change the course of a game with their hitting abilities. Pasquantino's eye for selecting pitches has been commendable, while Renfroe's power-hitting capabilities cannot be underestimated.


For the White Sox, Andrew Benintendi and Gavin Sheets have been notable contributors. Benintendi's versatility as an outfielder and his ability to get on base have been vital for Chicago, while Sheets' power could prove decisive in tight situations.
