LAD first half leaderboards – sOPS+

Phil Gurnee ♦ July 10, 2017 ♦ 3 Comments

Oh look, Justin Turner again. To recap, Justin Turner has the best LAD first half in Batting Average, On-Base Percentage, and sOPS+. In other words, the red-bearded wonder is well on his way to having the greatest offensive season ever by a Los Angeles Dodger.

And I thought he could be replaced!!!!!!!!

This list is punctuated with hitters from our four previous leaderboards, so I’m looking for a new name, and I found a few.

Rick Monday, Ron Cey, Gil Hodges, Yazmani Grandal, Kirk Gibson, Manny Ramirez, and Yasiel Puig (2014 season).

Cody Bellinger barely makes the arbitrary cutoff point of 150.
