We all know that Nico Hoerner has been off to an incredible start this 2026 MLB season. He’s hitting .324/.410/.507/160 wRC+, he’s playing his typically excellent defense, he’s stealing bases, and he’s constantly scoring or driving in runs. On the year, Hoerner’s 1.5 WAR at Baseball-Reference is third in baseball, behind only Jordan Walker and Andy Pages. At FanGraphs, Hoerner’s 1.1 WAR is fifth, behind only Walker, Pages, C.J. Abrams, and Yordan Alvarez.
Even knowing all that, I still found this factoid both surprising and enjoyable:
Kind of random, but shows how good Nico Hoerner has been.He's the only Cub to have 20 hits, 15 RBI & 5 SB in team's first 20 games of a season (since 1920).Signed an extension and has been awesome. pic.twitter.com/TNAhReB9jn
— The Windy City Breakdown (@wcb_pod) April 16, 2026Obviously the stolen base component is probably the limiting factor, but still. The Cubs have been around for a very long time, and have had some very good hitters. Pretty cool to see Nico Hoerner’s start to the 2026 season standing out, above and beyond.
