It seems appropriate that one of the greatest free agents to hit the market finishes the season at the top of the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Juan Soto of the Yankees went one for two with a three walks for a game score of 62, tied with Teoscar Hernandez for the second highest of the day. Soto moves ahead of Shohei Ohtani who went 0 for 4 with a catcher interference. I hope Soto’s agent points to the rankings to get even more money for the prime age talent.

Ohtani drops to third place as Aaron Judge of the Yankees posts the highest game score of the day, a 75. Judge finished the game two for three with a double and a home run to go along with two walks. I suspect the game will be remembered more for his error, that started a cascade of poor fielding, leading to the Yankees blowing a five-run lead on five unearned runs.
