He hasn’t homered, but is still a good run producer.

Nico Hoerner isn’t a power hitter, not at all, but the last three seasons has been good for at least a few baseballs that left the yard: Ten in 2022, nine in 2023 and seven last year.

Through 61 team games this year, in which he’s played in 57 (all starts), Nico has not homered — at all.

Nevertheless, he’s still having a productive offensive season, batting .296/.343/.372. The .715 OPS is pretty much right on with his career OPS of .718. He’s stolen 13 bases, perhaps heading for another 40-steal season. Nico had a career-high 35 doubles in 2024 and could hit 30 or more again, as he’s doubled 15 times.

All of this has produced a 2.3 bWAR season that could be a 4 WAR or better year when the final story of 2025 is written.
