I should probably mention Craig Kimbrel and Kenley Jansen just because they are nasty and I gave the relief pitchers no love...

I am incredibly biased I am a dieheart Houston Astros fan born and raised in Houston. I am going to say George Springer has had the best first half. He is the only leadoff man in MLB history to hit 27 before the All Star break. Plus he is having the best first half of his enrire career in every aspect if the game!
