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
Juan Soto goes back-to-back with Bo Bichette! His 155 wRC is tied for the 4th-best in the NL 🍎

28 of the past 30 MVPs were either previously top-4 in MVP voting or former Rookie of the Year winners. Here’s the only healthy AL regulars that fit Bobby Witt Jr Yordan Alvarez Mike Trout Nick Kurtz Jose Ramirez Randy Arozarena Gunnar Henderson Vlad Guerrero Jr Julio Rodriguez
There will be a new American League MVP for the first time since 2020. Who do you think is going to win it?

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 Yankees YOUR PITTSBURGH PIRATES

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. The Show with @Joelsherman1 & @JonHeyman ➡️ trib.al/pymfN5R

ZiPS projected rest-of-season leaders in wRC : Aaron Judge, 177 Yordan Alvarez, 162 Shohei Ohtani, 160 Juan Soto, 160 Ronald Acuna Jr, 148 Ben Rice, 140 ZiPS believes that Ben Rice will continue being MLB’s best-hitting first baseman, and a top-10 hitter overall
We’re nearly 2 months into the season and Ben Rice leads baseball in SLG, OPS and wRC One of the best hitters in the game. No way around it

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

Highest Def by a CF, ages 22-23 Andruw Jones, 65.9 Pete Crow-Armstrong, 31.0 Carlos Beltran, 29.4 Chet Lemon, 26.7 Grady Sizemore, 24.8
Pete Crow-Armstrong is on pace for 4.8 fWar while rocking a .656 OPS. I really think we’re going to look up one day and PCA will be 60 career War player and at minimum a Top 5 defensive OF ever

Cal Raleigh barely even played baseball for the first couple weeks of the season and he’s still on pace for 38 HR and 4.3 fWAR He’s so good

Most times leading 3B in WAR since Integration: Eddie Mathews, 7x Mike Schmidt, 6x Wade Boggs, 6x Ron Santo, 4x Jose Ramirez, 4x If Ramirez repeats in 2026, it will be his fifth 3B WAR title in the last 7 years
Jose Ramirez leading 3B in War is baseball’s ultimate fork found in kitchen
