If you own Anthony Rizzo in an OBP league, then you've been perfectly happy with him so far, in fact you've probably been thrilled. He's had great power, the runs and RBIs have been there, and his OBP is at .376, he's what you wanted. But if you own Rizzo in a standard league, you've been understandably somewhat disappointed by the .238 batting average. Well Rizzo certainly helped you out on Wednesday night, going 3-3, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI and he's going to be fine the rest of the season. The big thing to point to for that poor batting average is a .221 BABIP. Otherwise, he looks great. His strikeout rate is down, his walk rate is up, his whiff rate is down, the home runs are good, he's fine, and he'll be fine, so if someone is trying to buy low and you on Rizzo, don't sell for anything less than what you expected from him initially. And if someone in your league wants to give up on Rizzo, go grab him fast.
Let's take a look at some of the other performances from Wednesday:
