Corey Seager’s first 162 games among best in Dodgers history

Corey Seager was 2-for-4 with a double in Wednesday’s win over the Diamondbacks, his third consecutive multi-hit game. It was his 162nd career game.

Since we took a look at Seager through his first 81 games, let’s see how he ranks over the equivalent of a full season in Dodgers franchise history.

Seager has a career line of .321/.386/.540, with between 7.7 (Baseball-Reference) and 8.6 (FanGraphs) Wins Above Replacement.

Just on its own, there have been 29 individual Dodgers seasons with an on-base percentage and slugging percentage that high with enough playing time to qualify for the batting title, though none of them were by a shortstop, let alone a rookie shortstop.

Among Dodgers in their first 162 career games*, Seager ranks...
