As I say these words, it almost seems ridiculous. But I feel it’s true. The Chicago Cubs Anthony Rizzo has been one of the best first basemen in the league since 2013–his first full season with the Cubs. Two-time All-Star, two-time Glod Glove, a Platinum Glove, a Silver Slugger and he’s finished in the top 20 of the MVP vote the last five years. He could be on the verge of having his best season, yet no one is talking about him outside of Cubs’ circles.
Currently, Rizzo is in the midst of a 21 game on-base streak and a 13 game hitting streak.
