Best Batter Today

Christian Yelich moves up another spot in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Mike Trout stays on top as he homered in the Angels 11-5 win over Seattle. Alex Bregmen holds second place with a home run and a walk as the Astros fall to Texas 7-3. Yelich went two for five with a home run to move past Matt Carpenter. Jose Ramirez is now fifth, just 0.14 points ahead of Mookie Betts.

Yelich is on quite hot, owning the second longest hit at the moment, 12 games. In that time, he posted a .520/.547/.980 slash line with four home runs and 15 RBI.

As the season progresses, we see how these ratings work. Hitters like Trout and Ramirez, who are consistently good, pretty much stay in the top five. Players who go on incredible streaks, like Yelich and Carpenter, can work their way into the higher echelons if they also have a good base to build on.
