Why he matters right now

Bryan Reynolds co-leads the majors in doubles

Through 148 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.

This has been his headline for 3 straight days.

The case in 30 seconds

  • 36 No. 1, shared, in doubles on MLB's own leaderboards — 36 doubles (tied with 1 other) MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
  • .265 .801 OPS, 17 home runs, 70 RBI and 9 stolen bases over 148 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

It is still a partial season — 644 plate appearances so far. A rate moves fastest against the strongest arms a schedule has left, and the schedule ahead is not the schedule behind.

What to watch next

Next up: at Chicago Cubs.
