New York Yankees third baseman Chase Headley is one of the best offensive players in baseball. No, I am not kidding you and no, you aren’t having a dream that’s simply too good to be true.
Through 15 games played, the 32-year-old owns a .396/.500/.646 slash line with three home runs and an OPS of 1.146. Entering Thursday night, his WAR, OPS, OBP, wRC+ and runs scored ranked inside the Top-5 among qualified major league hitters.
Sure, that’s great. But those rankings simply don’t do his current surge as much justice as a quick comparison to 2016 does.
