Bryce Harper isn't the only hot hitter on the Washington Nationals.

Yunel Escobar is hitting like he did as a rookie in 2007 when he was with the Atlanta Braves and hit .326/.385/.451 in 319 at-bats.

After several seasons with a sub-.260 batting average, Escobar has looked like a different hitter. He's hitting .331 with a .381 on-base percentage in 2015.

Escobar has been outstanding in his past 22 games, batting .365.

Escobar's swing rate was 45 percent, 44 percent and 45 percent the past three seasons. It's up to 52 percent in 2015.

The percentage increase is true both inside and outside the strike zone. Though Escobar's chase rate has gone up -- from 22 percent in 2014 to 30 percent in 2015 -- his numbers against pitches out of the strike zone haven't suffered.
