I know Bryce has always been pitched around... but this is Murphy since the start of the 2015 playoffs:
227 H in 647 ABs (.354), 54 2B, 34 HR, 130 RBI all while striking out less than almost everyone in baseball.
I get there are more feared sluggers, but like I said before, there isn't a tougher out in baseball right now and pitchers are willingly putting someone on base in front of this guy. Constantly. And it's not like he's not making them pay for it.
