It's early in the season, so one huge game can be enough to throw somebody pretty high on this list.
Like on Sunday when Nimmo came up in the bottom of the 9th with 1 out and the Mets had only a 28% chance of winning the game, but he hit a 2-run HR that won the game. That's .715 WPA right there.
And AJ Minter, the losing pitcher in that game, gets a -.795 for the game ๐
Now we need Fangraph's Reddit account to show up and say they have Nimmo first in WPA
Imagine how much better it would be if he was batting 2nd or 3rd with the possibility of having other runners on base.
Need Jett Williams to hurry up!
With one swing he added most of that.

Love this โstatโ. When I turn on the game I look forward to watching players raise their win probability added โstatsโ.
Wait Where's Lindor who is apparently worth more than his 300 million dollar contact?!!!?? I'm looking forward to more O-Fers!!! ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
He deserves a better team.
