Chase Headley simply isn’t slowing down. As great as his August was – good enough to make him the first Padre to be NL Player of the Month since Tony Gwynn in May 1997 – he’s smoking it even more this month. How about a .344 mark with six dingers, 21 RBI and a steal?

The really impressive part of Chapman’s progress this year is the improved control. Last year, the southpaw walked an unsightly 7.38 batters per 9; this year, that number is just 2.66. That is a shocking turnaround and the main reason Chapman has enjoyed a breakout year that has included career bests in wins, saves, strikeouts, WHIP and ERA.
