After posting a meager .240 batting average and .540 OPS early on, they’ve exploded since May 25th, hitting five home runs with the bases loaded in just 51 games, soaring to a .441 average and a staggering 1.380 OPS. Their season-long OPS with runners in scoring position now ranks sixth in baseball, and they’re tied for fourth in grand slams. This dramatic turnaround proves they can thrive under pressure—and if they keep this momentum, they’ll be nearly impossible to beat down the stretch.
