Best Batter Today

Sunday’s games brought a slight reshuffling of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Aaron Judge and Juan Soto of the Yankees now rank first and third respectively. Each of them posted a one for four in the 3-1 Braves victory. Steven Kwan of the Guardians moved into second place as he went two for five with a home run, and is now batting .290. Cleveland beat the Blue Jays 6-5. His seven home runs are a new single season high for him.

Gunnar Henderson of the Orioles drew a walk in four plate appearances to rank fourth, as the Astros take the game 8-1. Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers did not play, and he remains fifth.

Spencer Horwitz of the Blue Jays and Colt Keith of the Tigers tie for the highest game score of the day, an 80. Horwitz went two for three, both hits home runs, and drew two walks. In 94 MLB PA, Horwitz owns a .415 OBP. Keith went four for five with a double and a home run in an 11-2 win over the White Sox. It was a great game in a rather poor season for him, as his slash line stands at .243/.292/.336. He puts the ball in play a bit, but owns a .271 BABIP.
