Bryan Reynolds
Why he matters right now
Bryan Reynolds leads the majors in doubles
Through 162 games he is 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 43 straight days.
The case in 30 seconds
- 40 No. 1 in doubles on MLB's own leaderboards — 40 doubles MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
- .261 .789 OPS, 17 home runs, 72 RBI and 9 stolen bases over 162 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 — 699 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.
