Award case

Why he matters right now

Luis Arraez co-leads the majors in hits

Through 132 games he is tied for first in hits — the kind of line that decides awards.

Same case as last night, moved numbers: hits went from .317 to 166 since August 31.

The case in 30 seconds

  • 166 No. 1, shared, in hits on MLB's own leaderboards — 166 hits (tied with 1 other) MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
  • .315 .776 OPS, 6 home runs, 55 RBI and 10 stolen bases over 132 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 — 576 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

34 more to reach 200 HITS.
