In 130 game and 486 plate appearances, rookie Addison Russell has hit .238/.301/.389. His wOBA is .302 and his wRC+ sits at 88. As a 21 year old who is now firmly planted at shortstop, those are some pretty good numbers. As a Major League hitter, they're below average, but the age and position matter a lot. He's hit 13 home runs already and has a .152 ISO. I've not only been surprised that his defense has been as good as advertised, but that he also can hit for power. It's not power projected down the road, but immediate power.
