BTP: Box-Toppers points

However, overall RBI leader Anthony Rendon of the Nationals ranked outside the top 10 National League batters in Box-Toppers points. Rendon, who led with 126 RBIs, had 5.0 Box-Toppers points in 2019, 32nd among NL batters and 169th among all players. Rendon, in fact, had the lowest Box-Toppers point total among all 11 RBI leaders, even though he had the most RBIs.

Likewise, Jose Abreu of the White Sox, who led American League players in RBIs with 123 (second among all players) also ranked outside the top 10 AL batters in Box-Toppers points with 7.5—he ranked 15th among AL batters and 98th among all players.
