By Jon Weisman

Justin Turner …

  • has become the 13th-best hitter in the National League this year with at least 250 plate appearances in weighted runs created (wRC+).
  • has an on-base percentage of .453, slugging percentage of .532 and OPS of .985 in 179 plate appearances since May 22.
  • leads the Major Leagues in batting average (.372) since May 22.
  • leads the Major Leagues in batting average with runners in scoring position for all of 2014 (.420).

An incredibly valuable player off the bench for the Dodgers this year.
