For many, the narrative on Matt Carpenter‘s season was written weeks before the Cardinals clinched the Central last Sunday. Entering September, Carpenter was hitting .219/.329/.374, had been on the IL multiple times, and benched in favor of Tommy Edman. The idea that Carpenter was finished as a productive major-league hitter was not without merit: he started and finished 2018 poorly and had yet to look like himself in 2019. In a span of 11 baseball months, he’d been productive in three of them. Of course, those three months were historically good.
