I’ve never seen a player completely change the way he looks at the plate like Pete has around the time he got moved into the leadoff position. I never expected it to happen so quickly.

his ability to do a 180 in plate discipline is the most unbelievable thing to me. Usually its a pretty "sticky" skill, and something very hard to teach. and yet, PCA has figured out how to be much much more patient, take his walks, and not chase garbage all in the span of less than a year. its incredible.

We should be extending him.

Almost TWO MORE WINS THAN SECOND PLACE. This is absurd, Pete is 2026.

Sosa, although it took him longer. Check his BB/K from 1997 to 2002.

That's closer to 1.5 than 2, but his fWAR is now 7.4.😄

Pete went from bottom 5 OBP to top 5 OBP. I honestly doubt thats ever been done.

ZeferJahn is nasty

Yes. I wouldn't bet my life savings on it, but yes, I do think they *can* beat the Dodgers in a short series.
