No baseball fan can avoid hearing about the incredibly strong starts from Cody Bellinger and Christian Yelich. It’s well deserved, as both players are getting off to starts that could propel them to MVP-like seasons. In the American League, there’s another slugger not far behind. The difference is, you likely didn’t know anything about him until now. This first baseman in 3rd in the MLB in wRC+ at 195. He’s also 3rd in DRC+ (which attempts to adjust for luck more) at 165. He’s also 3rd in OPS at 1.133. His name is Hunter Dozier, and since you maybe didn’t know, he plays for the Royals.
