Before August, he already had 22 homers, 5 triples, and 25 steals, a feat last seen in 1970. His 409-foot homer pushed him to 22 homers, locking in his legendary status. For the Cubs, he’s been a beacon amid injuries, leading MLB in fielding run value, outs above average, and runs prevented. Offensively and defensively, he’s elite—5 WAR, second only to Yordan Alvarez, but actually tops on FanGraphs and ESPN, surpassing even Shohei Ohtani. With this pace, MVP is very much in his sights.
