세인트루이스 카디널스의 2루수 JJ 웨더홀트가 최근 수십 년간 신인 2루수로는 가장 강력한 시즌 초반을 보내고 있다. 그는 56경기 동안 2.5의 fWAR를 기록하며 전체 신인 중 1위를 달리고 있다.
웨더홀트는 수준급의 수비와 123의 wRC+(조정 득점 창출력), 그리고 7개의 도루를 결합한 활약을 펼치고 있다. 현재 페이스라면 시즌 7 fWAR를 기록할 것으로 예상되며, 이는 지난 100년간 신인 2루수가 세운 기록을 뛰어넘는 수치다. 이 기간 동안 6 fWAR를 달성한 신인 2루수는 1943년 카디널스의 루 클라인뿐이었다.
