Triston Casas, IF: A South Atlantic League midseason All-Star, Casas is batting .245 with a team-high 17 home runs and 72 RBI, both good for top five in the South Atlantic League this season. The top prospect has also amassed 21 doubles and five triples to contribute to a team-high .464 slugging percentage.
Alex Demchak: LHP: Demchak has excelled out of the Drive bullpen this season, recording a 1.93 ERA in 32.2 innings pitched over 19 appearances. The lefty has totaled 43 strikeouts against 11 walks and has held opposing hitters to a .169 average against him this season.
Tyler Esplin, OF: Esplin has quietly put together a strong season in Greenville, batting .250 with a team-high 26 doubles, good for 10th in the South Atlantic League, to go with three triples, four home runs, 48 runs and 37 RBI thus far. 
Devlin Granberg, 1B: Granberg also earned a selection to the South Atlantic League All-Star game, while leading the team in average for the better part of the season before a call-up to Salem. In 99 games for the Drive, Granberg batted a team-best .286 with 19 doubles, five triples, eight home runs, 57 runs and 45 RBI, helping him to a team-high .820 OPS.
Chase Shugart, RHP: Shugart established himself as one of the Drive's top pitchers since joining the team in late May, putting together a 6-3 record with a 2.40 ERA in 78.2 innings pitched across 14 starts to date. The righty has struck out 64 batters against 19 walks and held opposing hitters to a .243 average.
