Bases Loaded Batting Cages

People forget just how insane Ryan Howard's peak was.

From 2006-2009, he averaged:

• 50 HR
• 143 RBI
• .379 OBP
• .589 SLG
• .967 OPS
• 145 OPS+

He won an MVP, finished top-10 in MVP voting all four seasons, helped lead the Phillies to back-to-back World Series appearances, and was basically a lock for 45-50 bombs and 140+ RBI every year.

Prime Ryan Howard was an absolute monster. 💣🔥
