Yasiel Puig through a full season's worth of games

[StanMarsh51]

163 games actually, but close enough. Just thought it was interesting as we were all wondering whether pitchers would adjust after his last season, but he's hitting much better this year than he was last year.

695 PAs 606 AB, `101 R, 197 H, 38 doubles, 5 triples, 30 HR, 82 RBI, 18/30 steals, .325/.405/.553, 168 OPS+, 335 TB, 7.8 WAR

Even when Puig regressed in the 2nd half last year (after batting .391/.422/.616 in the 1st, he batted .273/.373/.481 in the 2nd (which are still very good numbers). His walk rate improved from just 4.3% pre-ASB to 10.7% in the 2nd. And this year, the walk rate is at 11.8%, 29th among 170 qualified batters.
