1Trea TurnerNPHISSDurable in four of five years. No big changes. Led league in PA. Would expect speed to decline soon.3
2Bobby WittAKCRSSExtreme LA and elite speed. Worst in second half. Finished year hitting second.3
3Bo BichetteATORSSStreaky, hit .406-7-27 in September. EV and HH% were up. Mediocre speed makes 2021 SB a fluke.3
4Fernando Tatis JR.NSDPSS
5Amed RosarioACLESSCut K%, elite speed. Slow starter again. Hit 2nd, lineup spot really matters.3
6Tim AndersonACHWSSCut K% sharply, but power also down. Missed time with groin and thumb.3
