Players with a 140 wRC+ or higher each of the last 2 seasons: - Aaron Judge - Shohei Ohtani - Nick Kurtz - Juan Soto - Via @MLBNetwork on X

What happened: Juan Soto, Kyle Schwarber and Nick Kurtz round out the group with Dominic Canzone, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. Canzone's inclusion places him alongside five of baseball's most productive hitters.

Why it matters: A 140 wRC+ represents offense 40 percent better than league average after adjustment. Sustaining that production would keep Canzone central to Seattle's lineup during the 2026 stretch run.

By the numbers: Six players reached a 140 wRC+ in each of the past two seasons: Aaron Judge, Shohei Ohtani, Nick Kurtz, Juan Soto, Kyle Schwarber and Dominic Canzone.

What to watch: Canzone's ability to maintain the threshold through the rest of 2026 bears watching.
