Is Carlos Correa starting to regress?
Carlos Correa was a major question mark entering 2024. Are we getting the stud shortstop from 2021 or the aging superstar with Swiss cheese ankles from last season? The answer seems to be the former.

While minor injuries have kept him out of the lineup twice this year, his production has looked like the Correa of old. His .308 batting average is the second highest mark of his career, he’s OPSing nearly .900, and he’s already accumulated 3.6 fWar.
His savant metrics look great, implying that the health questions that blockaded his mega-deals from the Giants and Mets haven’t slowed down his production just yet. Sure, injuries are always going to be a concern, but Correa’s shown that he isn’t quite done being one of the better shortstops in the game.
