      Yordan Alvarez debuted two months ago today … against the same team (Baltimore) and starting pitcher (Dylan Bundy) he will face tonight. Since then, he ranks third in MLB in OPS (1.131), behind only Nelson Cruz (1.138) and Yuli Gurriel (1.136).https://theathletic.com/1116114/2019/08/05/ive-never-seen-anything-like-it-the-rare-skillset-that-separates-astros-rookie-yordan-alvarez/ …

      After last night's three-homer game in Baltimore, Yordan Alvarez now leads the majors in OPS (1.175) since his June 9th debut. No player in MLB history has had more extra-base hits through 45 career games than his 31.

          Not sure how he isn’t the clear front-runner for RoY, despite the fact that he’s a DH. What he’s done with the bat so far is literally unprecedented.

          Mike Trout is having a career year at the plate, but he can't match Yordan in OPS+ (203 vs 190) and wRC+ (205 vs 197).

          Alvarez is the only player in MLB averaging more than one home run every ten at bats (minimum 10 HRs).
