Here’s a table of some of the top offensive performers since the All-Star break. Below the table, I listed some interesting metrics that appear to be outliers one way or the other. If there aren’t many metrics listed next to one of the players, it’s because there isn’t anything too out of the ordinary with their underlying metrics. I’ll look to do this next week for pitchers since most pitchers only have two or three starts since the break.

Kole Calhoun, Ian Kinsler, Christian Yelich, Jazy Baez, Jonathan Schoop, Bryce Harper, and Juan Soto appear to be obvious candidates for regression. Of that group, I’d expect Soto and Baez to regress the least amount because they aren’t too far off from their season numbers in terms of approach and batted ball profile. Calhoun and Schoop are incredibly hot and will cool off at some point and it could get ugly after that.



Ramirez and Davis have low BABIPs but have maintain solid skills. Ramirez is going to continue to embarrass Major League pitching the rest of the season and could easily go 40-35. Also, Mike Trout is insane! Polanco, Hoskins, and Chapman are kind of a mixed bag. Some numbers point to regression and some don’t. I’m cautiously optimistic on these player rest of season.,
