2019 Most Valuable Brewer #8: Lorenzo Cain
Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports As we all know, Lorenzo Cain came to the Brewers last season as part of a 5-year, $80M deal. He more than delivered in year one of that deal, posting a .395 OBP in the lead off spot along with the best defensive numbers of any outfielder in baseball. His ability to get on base faltered by quite a margin in 2019 (.325 OBP), but his defense, on the other hand, remained elite even as he battled injuries. Only Harrison Bader had a better defensive rating among outfielders according to Fangraphs.
