Aaron Judge and Juan Soto of the Yankees rank first and fifth respectively in the Baseball Musings Batter Rankings. Judge singled and walked, while Soto took an 0 for 4 in the 2-1 Cubs victory Sunday.
Vladimir Guerrero of the Blue Jays holds second place. He drew a walk in a 4-3 Braves win in a game that went eleven innings. Yordan Alvarez of the Astros drew a walk in four trips to the plate in a 12-6 Diamondbacks win for third place.
In that same game, Pavin Smith of the Diamondbacks went three four four with a walk and three home runs for a game score of 94, the best of the day. It’s the 21 game score of 90 or better this season, and the fifth best overall. He drove in eight runs in the game, hitting a grand slam, a three run homer, and a solo shot. It was a night to remember for Smith, who owns a career .394 slugging percentage.
Brent Rooker of the Athletics rounds out the top five in fourth place after drawing a walk in a 9-1 Tigers win.
