Ildemaro Vargas

No one has been hotter at the plate in 2026 than Ildemaro Vargas of the Arizona Diamondbacks. After a 4-for-4 day against the Chicago Cubs, the infielder has hit safely in 24 straight games, and 27 dating back to last year. That moves him past Wilson Ramos (26 games in 2019) for the longest streak by a Venezuelan-born player. Vargas' average is up to a League-high .404.
