Rant/Thread coming:

Both on Twitter and Facebook today I'm seeing hate on Paul DeJong. I'm not sure where this is coming from but let's look at some stats.
2017 - broke on the scene with a .285/.325/.532/.857 campaign - age 23

2018 - hit .260/.351/.473/.824 over about 1/4 of a season prior to getting hit in the hand with a pitch and wasn't the same after - age 24
2019 - hit .317/.407/.546/.962 over about 1/3 of a season prior to getting hit in the hand with a pitch again and wasn't the same after - age 25

2020 - now 26 - currently hitting .297/.381/.436/.817 this year after being affected with COVID
Just had to point all that out. Dude's a damn good player.
