There’s no debating who’s been the Cubs’ early offensive MVP.
It’s Anthony Rizzo.
Pick a category, and you’ll invariably find Rizzo at or near the top cluster of the league, across the board. He’s been an absolute run-producing machine, and he’s been doing it with contact, power, patience and more.
Like that overplayed, inescapable pop ditty goes, don’t believe me, just watch:
The conversation on Rizzo starts with that preposterous .470 OBP, which isn’t just in Joey Votto territory, but on par with Votto’s 2012 season, when he posted a career-best .474 OBP.
