ATLANTA — Zachary D. Rymer of Bleacher Report broke down the early trends of Yasiel Puig‘s torrid start today. Less than three weeks into the season, Puig owns a .347/.429/.510 slash line and one of the highest WARs in MLB.

In case you missed it Monday, our Bill Plunkett chronicled Puig’s off-the-field changes.
