It is still early in the season and Puig has been hot in May (OPS of 1.268, it was just .835 in April). And he was inconsistent last year. Here are his OPS figures for each month last year:
June 1.180
July .789
Aug. .920
Sept. .786
But he is in very impressive company even if we lower the threshold to an OPS+ of 170, as the table below shows.
