It has been clear to me for some time now, wihtout any bias, that Alvarez is having the second greatest offensive rookie season in the history of the game after Ichiro.
McGwire hit .289/.370/.618 Pete Alonso is hitting .265/.367/.596 right now. Ted Williams hit .327/.436/.609 There are sooooo many great offensive rookie seasons to call 60 games the 2nd greatest. This is quite possibly the greatest first 60 games of a career (Rhys Hoskins comes to mind recently).
Rookie OPS+ for all names in this thread, with plus/minus or neutral (n) for defense, #=MVP finish: Yordan 179 n Ted 160 - 4 Trout 168 + +SB 2 Ichiro 126 + +SB 1 Pujols 157 n 4 Lynn 162 + 1 Judge 171 + 2 McGwire 164 n 4 Alonso 151 -
