About a week ago, Juan Soto became one of the 100 most valuable hitters ever. His 353.4 career Batting Runs currently rank 96th in MLB history
Soto is on pace to end 2026 with 373.1 Batting Runs. This would put him 86th all-time, below Sam Thompson and above Pete Rose
Jun 13
Juan Soto goes back-to-back with Bo Bichette!
His 155 wRC is tied for the 4th-best in the NL 🍎

The Pittsburgh Pirates are the only team with four qualified hitters of a 135 wRC or greater:
Brandon Lowe, 142
Spencer Horwitz, 142
Bryan Reynolds, 140
Ryan O’Hearn, 137
PIT only had one qualified hitter with a >135 wRC from 2016-25 (2021 Bryan Reynolds). What a turnaround
As May comes to a close, four teams in MLB have scored at least 300 runs
Braves
Dodgers

The current AL Cy Young favorite is using K-BB%, xwOBAcon, and Z-Contact% to evaluate himself, explicitly saying that ERA is a misleading stat. Baseball evaluation has changed dramatically in the past decade
Cam Schlittler tells us the stats he values more than ERA despite having the lowest in MLB.

Aaron Judge, 177
Yordan Alvarez, 162
Shohei Ohtani, 160
Juan Soto, 160

In 2025, Patrick Bailey had 6 home runs, a 70 wRC , and 3.2 fWAR
If Bailey played every game of 2025 in CLE’s Progressive Field, he would’ve hit 9 home runs. This would give him a 72 wRC and 3.3 fWAR
