30 AB into the season, Yordan Alvarez is slashing .400/.587/.900 with 4 homers, 12 BB and 10 RBIs.

Baseball is better when one of the best hitters is healthy.

In my model, Alvarez ranks as the 12th highest statistical progression candidate. His actual (.430) and expected (.549) slugging had a 119 point difference — the 5th largest gap among all players.
