The shocking stat that shows just how good Addison Russell has been for Cubs

Addison Russell won't win the National League Rookie of the Year this season (his teammate Kris Bryant will), but he's still had a huge impact on the Cubs.

Despite his recent slump at the plate, Russell has been so good defensively that he's already one of the Top 5 middle infielders in the game...at both positions:

What's so crazy about that is Russell didn't even move to shortstop full-time until early August and he's only played 56 games (41 complete games) at shortstop this season.
