ANALYSIS: At 32 years old, Mike Tauchman has unexpectedly blossomed into a valuable part of the Cubs' lineup. He's slashing .283/.380/.438 with seven home runs and a 126 wRC+ through 67 games played this season. Tauchman's standout play has earned him a fixed role in Chicago's leadoff spot. He figures to remain in that position as they make a run for the postseason.

While Tauchman isn't the flashiest player in terms of power or speed, his approach has some elite characteristics. At the core of his success is a 17.1% chase rate. This phenomenal plate discipline is accompanied by other similarly strong numbers, like a .283 xBA, 13.1% walk rate, 19.7% strikeout rate, and .359 xwOBA.
