Now there are only a few weeks left until the 2021 MLB playoffs begin. There is still a lot of maneuver to be done in the standings as we follow him. Every day with the picture of the play-offs.
We have a weekly MVP hour and are ready to do it again, but this time we are going out of my traditional format.
I usually talk about how my rating wouldn’t necessarily be how I would vote now, but instead I think the rating would drop if it happened now, based on years of studying BBWAA’s voting trends and severely overdue monitoring in each season over the past decade. more.
When I look at the AL team right now, I think it’s pretty much gone. Shuhei Ohtani He would really win the MVP award because he has a one-of-a-kind season. He is one of the best hitters in the league, also stealing 23 bases and amassing an All-Star season on the hill. Being able to put all of this together is just a challenge to what baseball was like a century ago.
this means Vladimir GuerreroThe son prepares to finish second and his offensive season could be one of the best in which he has not won the Player of the Year award, as long as he compares him with his peers. That is, check where it fits in these categories.
- Hits: 1
- Corsica: 1
- House runs: 1
- RBI: 3°
- Total rules: 1
- Success rate: first
- Percentage on base: first
- Slow speed: 1
- OPS: First
- OPS +: before
- Walks: the third
- Times in base: 1st
- Extra basic hits: 4th
Holy smoke, right? Dominate the average and calculate the statistics.
Perhaps the easiest way to fix this is to find a roster of players to lead their league in the triple bar (AVG / OBP / SLG) and work from there. This is the best way to see how good a well-rounded hitter is. The best hitters hit average, get a base with a high clip, and hit for power. It’s all good there in those three modified stats.
We’ll be in reverse chronological order, because that’s how I manually search for all of this. And remember, I’m just looking for players who have led their league in all three and diagonal stats He didn’t win the best player award (Using only years there was an MVP rating).
2019 Christian Willich (Milwaukee Brewers): There is a little caveat here, because Yelich could have won the award if it weren’t for a broken knee in September. He finished in second place and had ludicrous stats, but with just 130 games, he finished outside the top 10 in hits, points and RBI to finish fourth in home games and seventh in total bases.
2000 Todd Hilton (Colorado Rocky Mountains): What about those pre-humidor numbers? Helton beat .372 / .463 / .698, leading the league in hits, doubles, RBI, times on base, total bases and war. He finished second in the race, seventh in the home run and third in OPS +. He still runs only fifth in the MVP vote. There is an argument that this season has been better than what Vlad is currently picking up, but there is the Coors factor and note that Vlad Jr. has a better OPS + (which suits stadium conditions). About a pre-hydration course …
1999 Larry Walker (Colorado Rocky Mountains): The Hall of Famer reached .379 / .458 / .710, but only finished in tenth place in the MVP rating, thanks in part to playing in just 127 games. This means that the injury kept him out of the top 10 on almost all counts (he was exactly 10th in his home run and RBI).
1979 Fred Lane (Boston Red Sox): A “Hall of the Very Good” player of the 70s and 80s, Mr. Lynn entered the AL in Triple Prong, OPS, OPS + (176) and WAR among the position players. He was fourth in points, third in total bases, third in doubles, second in home runs, fourth in RBI, third in extra base shots and fourth in base times. It’s over 4th place in the vote AL MVP. They used different stats at the time to determine the winner, but in hindsight he was sure it was stolen.
1957 Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox): Get ready for a lot of Teddy Ballgame. First, 1957, when he came second in the MVP vote for the great historian Mickey Mantle. Mantle 11.3 WAR was one of the biggest wars in history by a central player (related to 14). Williams finished fifth in points, ninth in hits, seventh in doubles, second in home runs, ninth in RBI and third in total bases. Despite Williams’ triple slash, this was a completely defensible vote.
1948 Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox): Another WAR says the voters are right. Le Boudreaux publishes Joe Dimaggio and Williams. Despite his lead in triple slash and OPS +, Williams finished second in WAR, third in points, fifth in hits, sixth in homer, third in RBI and third in total bases. He went on in my doubles, but didn’t win first place like Vlad Jr. in 2021.
1947 Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox): The Yankees multiply the red stockings For the 14-game AL banner and I think that’s what happened here, because the other Williams wiped out Dimaggio. Williams averages 28 points higher, 108 percentage points higher on base and another 112 points slowing (yes, that’s 200 points higher in OPS) while DiMaggio leads with 13 hits, 28 innings, 12 homers and 17 RBI. Williams led the league in all stats of averages, running, total bases, homers, and RBI. He was third in hits and second in doubles.
Oh and Williams more than doubled Dimaggio’s war. I put it on last because they didn’t have it then. Look at them side by side if you like.
1942 Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox): This is also terrible Looking at the numbers side by side. Joe Gordon was a top defender and had a great offensive season – of course, he also led the league in attacking bouts and doubles – but I think his nine-game squad meant he was more valuable than Williams. Teddy led the league in the war, stats per mile (had 1,147 OPS and 0.930 was second), points, total bases, home drills, RBI, walks, extra shots on base, times on base, was 3rd in hits and 7th doubles in baseball.
1941 Ted Williams (Boston Red Sox): Yes, Williams finished second. We could put this back into Dimaggio’s 56-game winning streak, but it’s still infuriating to see one player scoring 0.406 / 553 / 0.735 and not winning the MVP award. Williams led in WAR, runs, creep and times on base, but DiMaggio led in total bases, RBI, and extra base shots. 235 OPS by Williams + dwarfs 185 DiMaggio and is one of the best grades in MLB history. At least DiMaggio had a season the whole time this time around.
1935 Archie Vaughan (Pirates of Pittsburgh): Hall of Fame pirates Third baseman never won MVP, but he had a lot of effort here, cutting .385 / .491 / .607 (190 OPS +). Furthermore, he is not really a competitor in this discussion. He finished eighth in points, tenth in valid, seventh in total bases, tenth in doubles, tenth in triple, eighth in home runs and sixth in RBI.
1934 Lou Gehrig (New York Yankees): The Iron Horse AL outperformed – as well as triple bar rate stats like everyone else on this list – in WAR, total bases, home runs, and RBI. He was third in the race, second in the hits, ninth in the doubles, second in the gear and first in the OPS +. and awards .363 / .465 / .706. 5th place in the AL MVP. rate it.
1933 Chuck Klein (Philadelphia Phillies): MVP runner up to the Hall of Fame pitcher with a good season (Carl Hubbell had a 1.62 and 0.98 WHIP ERA in 308 2/3 runs). Since this was before the Cy Young days, it made sense. Klein drove in the War Player position, hits, doubles, home runs, RBI, total bases and was second on points.
Note: Let’s not go back beyond 1930 because before that, a player could only win MVP once and was therefore not eligible to win. Just for fun, check out Bee Ruth’s 1927 season and make up with him not getting MVP ratings.
At a glance here, Vlady appears to be dealing with a few seasons of Ted Williams, possibly old Greg and possibly 1933 Klein for the best offensive performance by a no-best winning player in recent MVP history.
As for the NL side of things, we will dive deeper into this league next week. At the moment, it still appears to be Fernando Tates, son with Max Muncie e Bryce Harper right there while Tria Turner e Freddy Freeman in the mixture. This will be our main focus here next week.
