Fan Graphs estimation here: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections?pos=all&stats=bat&type=onpacegpp

It puts PCA at an estimated 10.1 fWAR. He currently leads Ohtani in fWAR 6.3 to 6.0.

Barry Bonds early 2000s fWAR:

2001: 12.5
2002: 12.7
2003: 10.2
2004: 11.9

The best NL fWAR seasons since Bonds is Buster Posey in 2012 (9.8)

Not in line for the win or loss due to Ben Rice's HR. All 3 runs came from homers by the two Gonzalez(ez.) Spelling of the team is leaving me a bit 'irate

^{...wrong strike total before}

I thought I could get something off my chest regarding the great game.

When I learned baseball(our swedish version is a childs game called brännboll(burnball) I picked a team to follow, counted wins and losses, watch the standings as you do with all sports..

But lately I felt more drawn to the concept of a pastime, I stopped watching and started listening to games, ditched my team and just longed for a game every day to listen to, very much like an audiobook where I get to know the characters and can follow their ups and downs through the days. As a european I dont think I can really understand the concept of a pastime, but it feels closer. How do you Americans feel about the term?

Also, it turns our kids today dont know the game brännboll, likely because they spend their time inside infont of a screen. But a story from the news lately was teachers all over the country decided to ban the game, because it seemed to harm the kids! I had to read it and the game is apparently so hard, it breaks down the kids self esteem and traumatize them for life in the worst cases! I could not believe it! But its a sidestory..:)

How do you like to take in the game that is played daily?
  

If a certain Jacob Misiorowski didn't pitch in the NL, Schwarber would essentially have 50-50 odds of being the first hitter to strike out more than the leading pitcher in their league (Sanchez has 151 K's and just had a start)
