Why he matters right now

Bryan Reynolds co-leads the majors in doubles

Through 142 games he is tied for first in doubles. It is a real league lead in a category that depends on opportunity as much as on the hitter, so the rate statistics below are the better read on how he has hit.

The story changed tonight — this page led with a different case yesterday.

The case in 30 seconds

  • 34 No. 1, shared, in doubles on MLB's own leaderboards — 34 doubles (tied with 2 others) MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
  • .263 .789 OPS, 15 home runs, 66 RBI and 9 stolen bases over 142 games snapshot batting board — the union of MLB's top-10 hitting boards, then MLB's 3.1 PA per team game rule applied; not the league's full qualified pool

The honest caveat

Bryan Reynolds has 15 home runs and none in 33 games — the longest quiet stretch of his season. It does not undo the case above; it is the part of the record that argues the other way.

What to watch next

Next up: vs Los Angeles Angels.
