Corey Seager (29, Texas Rangers), who missed many games due to injury, is looking like the god of hitting.
Seager had a batting average of 0.344, 31 home runs, 92 RBIs, 83 runs, and 143 hits in 103 games of the season until the 15th (Korea Standard Time), and a 0.406 OPS 1.070 on-base percentage.메이저놀이터
Seager, in particular, flew with three hits, three RBIs, two runs and one walk, including his 31st home run of the season, against the Toronto Blue Jays on the 15th, which is very important in advancing to the postseason.
Texas beat Toronto 9-2 on the same day, narrowing the gap with the Houston Astros, the leader of the American League West, by 0.5 games. 2nd place for wild card.
Seager was absent from mid-April to mid-May due to an injury. Since then, his physical condition has not been normal, with him absent for about 10 days at the end of July.
However, despite his injury, Seager is showing a sense of hitting at its peak, making up for last year’s slump perfectly. OPS 1.070 is the No. 1 overall record.
Seager also has a batting average of 0.340 so far, threatening the position of Luis Araez (26), who has maintained the best position in the major leagues throughout the season.
Accordingly, Seager has recorded wRC+ 180 so far. He ranked first overall in the Major League and sixth in the FWAR with 6.0. Otani’s batter FWAR is 6.6.
There is no if in baseball. However, if Seager had no injuries, he would have been performing well enough to compete with Shohei Ohtani (29) for the MVP.
Seager fell short of expectations with a batting average of 0.245 and OPS of 0.772 in 151 games in his first year after moving to Texas last year, but he seems to have completed adapting to the league this year.
Seager’s performance will greatly help Texas advance to the postseason. Attention is focusing on whether Seager will present autumn baseball to Texas, which has suffered a series of pitchers’ departures.
