Even in the first few changes of the 2026 season, Wilyer Abreu stands out as the batting leader of the American League with an average of .429, the product of 15 hits in 35 at-bats, according to the sports portal Líder.

He surpasses the Detroit Tigers third baseman, Colt Keith (.407; 27-11), the Cuban first baseman of the Tampa Bay Rays, Yandy Díaz (.405; 37-15); who has already been the batting champion of the new circuit and the designated Cuban hitter of the Houston Astros, Yordan Álvarez (.400; 30-12).

So far they are the only ones who are above .400 points in the American League, because Giancarlo Stanton, Brandon Nimmo, appears with .394; in his first season with the Texas Rangers, he figures with .389 and the Rays outfielder, Chandler Simpson, accumulates .382.

However, in contrast to the very poor start of the season of the Boston Red Sox, who have fallen in seven of their first nine games, Wilyer Abreu has really stood out.
