10. Marlins: Marcell Ozuna (.328 BA, 10 HR, 27 RBI, 34 runs scored)
When people think of Marlins offense, they think of Giancarlo Stanton. Or at least, they had coming in to the 2016 season. A lot of Marlins hitters have begun to change that, with surprisingly strong seasons at the plate, but Ozuna has had the best of all so far in 2016. He leads the team in a majority of the stats, including runs, RBIs, and he’s even slugging the highest on the team. Unlike his streaky teammates, Ozuna has been far more consistent at the plate for the Marlins, which has really paid dividends for the team offensively. His promotion into the cleanup spot is well-earned, and it will be hard to justify putting Stanton back over him unless he begins putting up numbers similar to 2015. For now, Marlins fans should continue to enjoy what Marcell Ozuna is doing at the plate, and hope that his approach can start rubbing off on guys who aren’t doing so hot in the consistency category.

Daniel Murphy totally deserves this No. 1 slot. What a wrecking ball! RBIs all over. If only Harper was batting well…
