How many have a 33-32 season?

more than doubled his walk rate from 2025. this is like luke busting out the green lightsaber in return of the jedi...he found that other level. unreal.

This is now the 7th best offensive season in Chicago Cubs history with 8.7 fWAR, and the 5th (1958 Ernie) and 6th (1964 Santo) are both also 8.7. After that there's a small gap to 4th (1967 Santo, 9.5), 3rd (1959 Banks, 9.7) and 2nd (2001 Sosa, 9.9), and then an even bigger gap to 1st (1929 Hornsby, .380/.459/.679, 11.0).

On the pitching side, you've got 4 seasons pre-1900 that are measured at over 10 fWAR (all with at least 500 IP), and then 1970 and 1971 Fergie at 9.6 and 9.5, which seems within reach.

Obviously not a true counting stat, can certainly have a rough finish and move backwards, but likely looking at somewhere between the 2nd and 5th best season in post-1900 Cubs history by the time this wraps up.

Hes going over 10 fwar this year. At 8.7 now. 

 

300/410/650 over his last 400 PA

Every player who has posted 10+ fWAR in a season as a primary centerfielder is either in the Hall of Fame (Mays, Mantle, Cobb, Musial, Speaker) or well on their way (Trout + Judge).

I'd love to see PCA join that elite group.

It was funny, I was trying to explain to my mom, who's an extremely casual Cubs fan, about why PCA is so much better now, and I had to emphasize several times that this kind of stuff flat-out does not happen. Guys don't just double their walk rate overnight. But he did.

PCA's already so good that his career projections are 2340 for hits and 440 for homeruns.  He's 24, and has banked 374 and 74 respectively.  Insanity.

Dan didn't project steals, but I'd presume PCA projects easily to 300/300 and has a decent chance at 400/400?
