Hey Bob, at first glance, I tend to look at the hitters' cards at salaries of $5 mil or higher. And I have an expectation that almost all of those will have OPS of at least .800.
As it turns out, further review of the unleashed card sets confirms my earlier statement about the new set. It also confirms Bill's statement about the trend over time.
2019 card set has 78 hitters at $5 mil or more, including 5 with OPS less than .800, or 6%
2020 card set has 74 hitters at $5 mil or more, including 11 with OPS less than .800, or 15%
2021 card set has 75 hitters at $5 mil or more, including 13 with OPS less than .800, or 17%
2022 card set has 78 hitters at $5 mil or more, including 22 with OPS less than .800, or 28%
