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.

This has been his headline for 24 straight days.

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)
  • .261 .787 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 31 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.
