Good afternoon to MLB’s current fWAR leader, Sean Murphy, who also took home NL Player of the Week honors for the first week of May.

To say that Murphy raked is an understatement: he had a 236 wRC+ across 33 PAs and tallied 0.8 fWAR of his MLB-leading 2.1 in the process. Not bad for a guy who started out not even playing every day.
Perhaps more amusingly, Murphy actually underhit his xwOBA over this span (.
