What if Nick Senzel is MLB’s next breakout star?

A 110 wRC+ isn’t bad, per se. That’s exactly what Joey Gallo posted for the Texas Rangers just last year, which ranked 76th among the 140 qualified hitters in Major League Baseball, sandwiched right around the likes of Jean Segura, Carlos Santana, and Derek Dietrich. That’s just about average for a regular, it seems, as is 2.4 fWAR for a season’s worth of work, which is exactly how Mike Moustakas was valued for his 2018 efforts. That ranked 84th among those 140 qualified hitters.

2.4 fWAR and 110 wRC+ aren’t just arbitrary numbers here, either.
