BRANDON BELT 1B / giants
Belt led San Francisco with a career-high 29 home runs despite
being limited to 97 games due to injuries. Even with the medical
concerns, he’s seemingly unlocked a new power stroke, slugging
.595 over the last two years.
ANTHONY RIZZO
1B / yankees
Rizzo’s slugging
percentage dipped after
his July 29 trade from
the Cubs (.446 to .428),
and it was especially
down at Yankee Stadium
(.354), even with the short
right-field porch. The
32-year-old still gets on
base at an above-average
clip and will continue to
play smooth defense as
long as he’s in the league.
