The result of each baseball sport has the identical worth — it is both one win or one loss.
However for groups vying for a playoff spot, every victory in September tastes somewhat sweeter. Every victory hurts somewhat deeper. The burden of every consequence feels somewhat heavier. As such, everybody goals to be at their finest.
The eight gamers beneath are taking part in a few of their finest ball proper now. All of them endured some tough patches earlier this season, however that does not matter. They’ve gotten sizzling on the proper time and are serving to to elevate their membership into the postseason.
All stats up to date by way of Friday.
Austin Wells, C, YankeesWells wanted a while to search out his footing in his first full huge league season, however he started rounding into kind in July. It was good timing, too, since catcher Jose Trevino landed on the injured record with a strained quadriceps on July 13. Wells entered that day with a .219/.312/.369 slash line however then hit a three-run homer in a win over the Orioles and has since batted .283 with an .861 OPS, fifth-best amongst catchers with a minimum of 100 plate appearances. The 25-year-old has spent most of these plate appearances within the cleanup spot, generally batting between Aaron Choose and Giancarlo Stanton.
Cedric Mullins, OF, OriolesThe Orioles’ vaunted offense has hit a little bit of a lull. Baltimore has hit .203 and averaged 3.8 runs per sport whereas dropping 14 of its previous 25 contests. It was practically no-hit on Friday. Nevertheless, Mullins has been a vivid spot by way of this bleak stretch, posting a .390 on-base proportion and an .858 OPS. He has hammered 4 house runs in 11 video games this month, together with a two-dinger evening in opposition to the Pink Sox on Tuesday.
Earlier than that sport, Mullins mentioned he had stopped “chasing” the participant he was in 2021 when he gained a Silver Slugger and completed among the many high 10 in AL MVP voting. For the reason that starting of 2022, he has been solely barely higher than league-average on the plate (104 wRC+). The majority of this season has been a battle for the veteran heart fielder, however he appears to be seeing the ball higher. Mullins has struck out solely 12 instances in his previous 107 plate appearances (11.2%).
“I believe the rationale I’m placing up numbers which might be just like [2021] is as a result of I’m not chasing that man,” he mentioned. “I’m simply being who I’m.”
Eugenio Suárez, 3B, D-backsThis season has been a story of two drastically totally different halves for Suárez:
By June 30: .196/.279/.312 slash line with six house runs in 276 at-bats and a 67 wRC+, second-worst amongst certified hitters.
Since July 1: .322/.373/.678 slash line with an MLB-high 22 house runs in 236 at-bats and a 182 wRC+, seventh-best amongst certified hitters.
He has been an enormous purpose why the D-backs boast the best offense in baseball. And extremely, Suárez has picked up the tempo in September, batting .452 (19-for-42) with a 1.534 OPS and 7 dingers in 11 video games. Since Aug. 25, he has completed three video games with a minimum of 4 hits and a homer. No different participant within the Majors has recorded greater than three such video games all season lengthy.
Framber Valdez, LHP, AstrosThe Astros, after a sluggish begin to the season, are rolling towards their seventh AL West title in eight years. Loads of credit score goes to Valdez, who is without doubt one of the explanation why Houston’s rotation is wanting elite once more. The left-hander’s outcomes have been OK by way of the primary 4 months of the season (3.56 ERA), however he has been merely good because the begin of August.
That month opened with Valdez falling one out shy of his second profession no-hitter. He has upped his strikeout charge from 22.5% to 29.7% over the previous six weeks and has held batters to a thin .391 OPS. That’s second-best amongst pitchers who’ve thrown a minimum of 30 innings since Aug. 1. Valdez’s 1.33 ERA throughout that interval is second to none.
Joe Musgrove, RHP, PadresLet’s toss out Musgrove’s begin in opposition to the Giants on Sept. 8 when he sailed by way of three good innings earlier than serving up three house runs and 7 consecutive hits in a six-run fourth. That unraveling is just not indicative of how properly Musgrove has carried out since getting back from the injured record on Aug. 12. To that time, the right-hander’s season had been suffering from proper elbow troubles which contributed to a 5.66 ERA, 10 homers allowed in 49 1/3 innings and two IL stints. The second lasted 11 weeks.
All that point off served Musgrove properly as he permitted solely 4 earned runs and no lengthy balls by way of his first 5 begins again (27 2/3 IP). Exhibiting elevated velocity on a number of pitches, Musgrove’s strikeout-minus-walk charge elevated from 13.6% to twenty.2% whereas his opponents’ OPS plummeted from .895 to .439. It is sufficient to make you suppose that outing in opposition to San Francisco was only a blip.
Matt Olson, 1B, BravesThe harm bug has bitten so most of the Braves’ finest hitters this yr, together with Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II. Conversely, Olson nonetheless hasn’t missed a sport since becoming a member of Atlanta forward of the 2022 season. Though his presence within the lineup stays reliable, his manufacturing was much less so for a lot of this season. After main the Majors with 54 homers in 2023, Olson bopped 13 house runs by way of his first 102 video games in 2024. His OPS dropped beneath .700. His slugging proportion was .389, which ranked 107th amongst certified hitters.
Then a change flipped. Olson has been getting the fats a part of the bat on the ball constantly since July 27; his 17.1% barrel charge from that date ranks sixth in MLB (min. 150 PA) and is an enormous enchancment on his 9.7% barrel charge by way of the season’s first 4 months. He has turned in a .550 slugging proportion and practically doubled his homer whole, sending 12 balls out of the yard. Olson’s ascent has continued over the previous few weeks as he’s slashing .315/.370/.603 with 13 extra-base hits over his earlier 19 video games.
Pablo López, RHP, TwinsMinnesota’s Opening Day starter carried an ugly 5.63 ERA — the second-worst amongst certified starters — into his June 23 begin vs. the A’s. He dominated over eight scoreless innings that afternoon, placing out 14 batters and hinting at what was to return.
López was higher in July after which virtually untouchable for almost all of August. By the shut of that month, he had spun three consecutive scoreless begins. His streak of 23 1/3 scoreless frames was the longest by a Twin in a single season since 2019. López’s ERA (3.88) is down practically two full runs from the place it was lower than three months in the past and is a minuscule 0.79 ERA over his previous six turns. The suitable-hander who grew to become a postseason star for Minnesota final yr seems primed for October baseball.
Parker Meadows, OF, TigersMeadows’ late-season surge has coincided with Detroit’s cost up the Wild Card standings. Getting into play on Saturday, the membership was an MLB-best 21-9 since Aug. 11 and simply 2 1/2 video games out of a playoff spot. Meadows has an .810 OPS with 13 extra-base hits in his 28 video games since that date. The Tigers’ No. 6 prospect on the outset of the yr, Meadows was the group’s Opening Day heart fielder and batted leadoff early on. Nevertheless, he went 7-for-73 with 32 strikeouts earlier than being despatched to the Minors on Might 7. He got here again to the massive leagues about two months later however suffered a proper hamstring pressure simply three video games after being recalled and missed practically one other month.
As soon as he was activated on Aug. 3, the 24-year-old collected two hits in every of his first 5 video games and deservedly regained his spot on the high of the Tigers’ lineup. Over his earlier eight contests, Meadows has 5 multihit efforts and 12 RBIs.
