So how does Upton compare to other right fielders? Upton’s 3.4 fWAR ranks 3rd in the MLB among right fielders, after Jose Bautista (who’s in the AL and in a class of his own) and Ben Zobrist (also in the AL). His .395 wOBA ranks 6th among outfielders in the MLB. Out of all batters, Upton ranks 8th in OPS, 9th in OPS+, 4th in doubles, 10th in SLG%, 5th in total bases, and 6th in hits. He’s doing all of this at the age of 23, and for the low price of $6.75 million, even though Upton has already produced 15 million dollars worth of production according to Fangraphs.
