This Opening Day welcomed to the world to the greatness that is Trevor Story. This is also lineup that boasted three Silver Slugger Award winners (one is batting eighth in this lineup), and six hitters with an OPS+ of 100+ … yet it barely cracked the top five.
The fourth-best hitter was rookie Trevor Story, who famously hit two homers off Zack Grienke in his MLB debut, which also happened to be Opening Day of the 2016 season.
