| 6/08/25 | Chicago Cubs Shockingly Productive Slugger's Numbers Have Fallen Hard. The Chicago Cubs had an incredible start to the season in more ways than one, powering their way to the top of the standings with an offense that was putting up some incredible numbers. In order to get to those numbers, it was requiring performances from players which might have been better than were sustainable over the course of a full season. There may be no better example of overachieving this season than new catcher Carson Kelly. Brought in to be a platoon option and defensive specialist, Kelly shocked everyone with what his bat had been doing early on. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/cubs/news/chicago-cubs-shoc... |

Entering the Cubs' weekend series in Cincinnati, one man topped the charts on an excellent offensive team in both batting average (.289) and OPS (1.004). Of course it was Carson Kelly. Practically nobody voted for Kelly, the poor guy. “This is literally the easiest question ever,” commented @Davey_Baseball, who likely opted for Kyle Tucker as most did.

Lee led the way with nine of the 19 votes for the player who has been the biggest surprise.

| 4/25/25 | How bottom of order is powering Cubs' offense to top of MLB. Carson Kelly needed a moment to take in what he was hearing last Friday. Batting eighth in the lineup, the Chicago Cubs catcher had already hit two home runs and driven in five in what would end up as a wild 13-11 comeback win over the Arizona Diamondbacks. "I had to take a step out," Kelly told ESPN with a smile the next day. Chants directed toward a catcher at the bottom of the order aren't commonplace in MLB -- but then again, neither is the month the Cubs catcher is having nor the production the team is getting from the bottom of the lineup.
