I mean, he's not unbelievable. Somewhere between an .800 and .900 OPS certainly seems reasonable for him at this point. A middle of the road, maybe slightly better, starting first baseman.

I did a little post a few months ago about how lousy his walk rate was, cautioning that his early numbers looked kind of flukey, and that he was likely to struggle if he didn't get more selective.  He did struggle for a while, but he responded by getting a lot more selective.

His second-half walk rate is double the first-half, and in part because of that, his second-half numbers are just outstanding -- 1012 OPS, and even if you BABIP-normalize it, it's still 915 -- and it's not clear a full BIP regression is really appropriate for him.

Anyway, it's only 112 PA, but he's been really, really good, and unlike April-May, there's nothing all that flukey about it.  It would be great to have a 900-plus hitter on the team that was more of a contact hitter.  Not so much a power hitter as a "hard contact" hitter.

He also leads the league in HBP with 15.
