During the 2015 MLB Draft, the Cleveland Indians selected Tyler Krieger in the 4th round from Clemson.
So far in the 2018 season, Krieger has played in 92 games, has a batting average of .266, 18 doubles, 1 triple, 5 home runs, has driven in 37 runs, 16 stolen bases (caught 6 times), and has struck out 65 times.
During his current 22 game hit streak, the RubberDucks outfielder has got 34 hits in his last 90 at-bats (giving him a batting average of .378), scored 12 runs, 7 doubles, 1 triple, 0 homers, 14 runs batted in, 1 walk, and 4 stolen bases.
It will be some time before you see Tyler Krieger in the big leagues but hit streaks are always fun to monitor.
On this day two years ago, former Indians top prospect Francisco Mejia was on game 41 of his 50 game hit streak.
