It's such a shame he hasn't been healthy. I'd much rather be watching him make a run at Ruth and Aaron then Barry.

Mantle was the highest at .977. Cobb if you consider him a CF would be higher but he played more RF. Ridiculous of course to compare Maybin, but a .925 OPS in his first 100 pro ABs in a full season league, in an extreme pitcher's park, at 19 years old, you get the idea.

His OBP is now over .400, and his SLG is about .525. And he's a defensive presence in CF. Overall an auspicious start. If he does it two more months he should get a shot at Lakeland.
