In his first 55 ML hits, only 8 were for extra bases. If I change it to 8 extra base hits, with the exact XBH distribution he had over his first stretch (6 2B, 2 3B), he would end up in the scenario with .290/.322/.387/.709 through 400 ABs.

I suppose the point that I’m making is that his ability to hit triples and homers as frequently as he recently has been has been the only factor that takes him from borderline replacement to 3.0 WAR player.
June 8, 20214 yr Nick Madrigal has three straight multi-hit games (.545, 6-11) and is batting .373.425/.582 (25-67) over his last 18. Taken from the game thread tweet with the starting lineup.

WTF Madrigal has a career BA of .318 and OBP.358 and OPS .763 Compared to Durham stats of .277 BA and OBP.352 and OPS .788 Durham had a 13-year career WAR of 33.8 according to Baseball Reference and I would think Madrigal will surpass that career WAR rather easily if he too has a 13-year career. Both very good players but my money would be on Madrigal to have a better career when all is said and done. Nicky is still getting his feel for the ML game.

It should continue, hes selling out some contact for power right now.
