Here is an explanation of this weekly feature. This entry lists the best and worst for the past 30 days of the 2016 regular season, through games of Monday, August 22.
Comment of the week: The top four hitters in the American League over the past 30 days, as measured by OPS, are three middle infielders and a catcher. Thankfully, Miguel Cabrera‘s in there at no. 5, restoring sanity.
