We’re kicking off our ranking of the Brewers’ 10 most valuable players in 2022 with infielder Luis Urias, who finished with a 3.1 WAR, good enough for fourth-best among Brewers.
Urias injured his quad in spring training and started the season on the IL, not making his first appearance until early May. Despite the late start, Urias still finished with 16 home runs which was sixth most on the team. He also totaled 47 RBIs and 97 hits, slashing .239/.335/.404 for a 110 OPS+, his second-best OPS+ after finishing at 112 in 2021.
While his offensive numbers declined slightly, he offset that with improved defense, committing 14 errors across 985 innings after committing 24 errors across 1,180 1⁄3 innings in 2021.
