"Matt Shaw doubled thrice from the last spot in the order on Wednesday night, making him just the fifth Cub in history to do so. Interestingly enough, two of the others were also in the ballpark."
"Shaw's big night got him up to 101 wRC+, meaning he's an above-average run producer at this point, and he's well above last year's ISO and slugging numbers."
"Many were perplexed when Kevin Alcántara was left off the Opening Day roster, especially when Michael Conforto and Dylan Carlson broke camp with the big club."
Baseball's essence lies in its statistics, which have evolved with technology.

Shaw's performance has improved his wRC+ to 101, indicating he is an above-average run producer. Meanwhile, Kevin Alcántara has made an impact with seven home runs, raising questions about his initial exclusion from the Opening Day roster.
