The Braves just lost their best hitter
View project
Before landing on the injured list with an oblique strain, catcher Drake Baldwin led the Braves in wRC+ at 161, meaning he was 61% better than an average hitter. For the Braves Report, I compared wRC+ and WAR for the team's regulars, charted OPS across the lineup and calculated Baldwin's share of the lineup's counting stats. The chart shows a deep lineup that can cover for him.
