What happened: Randal Grichuk's role in another Monday night victory prompted a fresh look at the 2009 MLB Draft. That review identified Zack Wheeler as the career Baseball-Reference WAR leader among first-round pitchers from the class.

Why it matters: The comparison shifts the conversation from draft-night billing to long-run value. It also links Grichuk's current production to a class still shaping how baseball measures staying power.

What to watch: Watch whether Wheeler widens that margin before the season ends and whether Grichuk keeps extending his late-season push.
