Best Batter Today

Once again, the top five remain the same in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Aaron Judge and Juan Soto of the Yankees stand one and two respectively after a 6-0 win over the Guardians. Judge posted a one for three with a walk and a home run, while Soto experience a rare poor day, 0 for 4 with two strikeouts.

Bobby Witt Jr. and the Royals did not play as Witt remains third. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.of the Blue Jays drew a walk in four trips to the plate in a 5-3 over the Angels. One point separates the Juniors.

Yordan Alvarez of the Astros rounds out the top five. He went one for five in a 6-0 win over Baltimore, a game in which all eight Astros hits went for singles.

The best game score of the day belonged to Miguel Amaya of the Cubs, a 74. The second year catcher went three for four with a home run and five RBI in a 10-2 win over the Tigers. He hits like a backup catcher, with a career .218/.296/.342 slash line in 143 games. He hit better in the minor leagues, so maybe he is finally adjusting to MLB pitching.
