Eigoro Mogi and Carlos Peguero have been one of the most dynamic duos in Japanese baseball so far this season.

They've been the driving force behind the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles, helping the club to a 15-4 record and a spot in first place in the Pacific League. The two have been hitting 1-2 in manager Masataka Nashida's order for most of the year and haven't disappointed.

Mogi, the team's second-year shortstop, is hitting .329 with five home runs and 13 RBIs out of the leadoff spot. Peguero, the No. 2 batter, has a .316 average, seven home runs and 21 RBIs.
