Bregman Booms, A Handful of Bats Cool Off

Who climbed and who cooled over the past week.

Some weeks the leaderboard reshuffles; this one mostly just simmered. A cluster of Cubs bats caught fire while a few stars quietly slid a few points. Here's who moved.

Hot at the plate

The week's hottest hitters — top OPS over the last 7 days (min at-bats), with their game line.

Bregman's seven-game tear (12-for-31, five homers, 12 RBI) leads the hot list, and he's got company in fellow Cub Tyrone Taylor, who went 10-for-18. Roman Anthony added his own 10-for-22 for Boston.

Cooling off

Hitters whose bat cooled most this week — shown with their 7-day line.

The cold snaps were mild but real: Alec Burleson went 1-for-22 and Munetaka Murakami managed just three hits in 24 tries, each shaving a couple dozen points off their season OPS. Shohei Ohtani's quiet week nudged him to a .906 OPS, still comfortably in the elite tier.
