Behind today's door we find...Alcides Escobar!

As the heir apparent at shortstop, most of the accolades regarding Escobar's game are reserved for his defense. With that said, he's off to a pretty nice start with the bat as well, hitting .310/.338/.372 in his first 138 major league plate appearances.

In fact, Escobar is only the second Brewer ever to collect 40 hits in his first 138 PAs:
