Elite season

Why he matters right now

Bryan Reynolds is top-10 in the majors in doubles and runs

He is 2nd in doubles at 33, 3rd in runs at 95 — placements on MLB's own season boards, which rank every QUALIFIED hitter in the sport rather than the few dozen this site tracks. Qualified is MLB's own bar, and it is the reason a part-season player with a big number is not on these boards at all.

Same case as last night, moved numbers: his headline number went from 32 to 33 since August 31.

The case in 30 seconds

33 2nd in doubles at 33, 3rd in runs at 95 on MLB's season leaderboards MLB season leaderboard (the league's own top-10 board of qualified players, not this site's roster)
.263 .790 OPS, 15 home runs, 66 RBI and 9 stolen bases over 141 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 30 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 San Francisco Giants. 25 more to reach 120 RUNS.
