Cody Bellinger is the Cubs’ runaway leader in win probability added, which measures how much each plate appearance adds or subtracts from a team’s chance of winning.

Cody Bellinger has been the Cubs’ leader in win probability added (WPA) this season, which shouldn’t come as any shock. He has led the way in most offensive categories.

By traditional Triple Crown stats, Bellinger’s .305 batting average, 26 home runs and 95 RBI top the Cubs. He leads them with a .531 slugging percentage and .886 OPS. His 135 weighted runs created plus tops Seiya Suzuki’s 125 for the team lead and ranks 12th in the majors.
