A Quick Chat About Stat Stabilization

The 2020 season has been anything but ordinary. As such, some players are performing at a higher clip than what we’re accustomed to seeing while a variety of established stars are greatly struggling. Look at the success from Mike Yastrzemski (2.2 fWAR, 154 wRC+ in 47 games) and the overall scuffling from last year’s NL MVP, Cody Bellinger, (0.4 fWAR, 90 wRC+ in 45 games) as two pertinent non-Astro examples. Odds are that Bellinger will eventually start hitting like he has shown in the past sooner rather than later while the jury is still somewhat out on the (promising) grandson of a Red Sox legend.
