There is no question as to what Matt Chapman means to the Oakland A’s. The A’s third baseman has been a star with the bat and the glove since his arrival in the majors, quickly establishing himself as one of the most valuable players on the team.
It is not a surprise that, since his arrival, Chapman has surpassed the other players on the A’s in terms of WAR.
