Is Buster Posey having the strangest season ever?

Here’s the kind of season Buster Posey is having: He’s hitting .361/.444/.564, good for a wRC+ of 172. That’s weighted runs created plus, an advanced metric that controls for park effects and the current run environment. Here are the highest wRC+ figures for qualifying catchers since World War II:

This is also the kind of season Posey is having: He has hit seven home runs and has just 11 RBIs. That’s just one more RBI than Anthony Rendon had in one game earlier this season.
