Happy 23rd Birthday, Addison Russell

Last year, I wrote about Addison Russell in pretty glowing terms. The last paragraph from that post:

This team is so incredibly deep, that you can imagine a scenario in which Russell puts up 4 WAR this year and gets absolutely no attention from a national outlet. Don't make that mistake.

bWAR: 4.3
fWAR: 3.9
WARP: 3.9

Seriously, the exact scenario happened. Of course, a lot of that is due to the fact that the Cubs won the World Series in 7 games, but despite the fact that Cubs won the World Series in 7 games (and Bryant won the MVP), Addison Russell sort of sneakily took the leap that you'd expect of a 22-year old destined for greatness

Offense

Russell had 75 more PA than last year.
