Despite being limited to just 117 games because of injuries, Henderson still had a pretty solid year as the A’s recovered from a one-year hiccup to claim their fourth AL West title in five seasons.
He was third in the AL with a Power-Speed number of 22.9 and ninth with a 5.3 Offensive WAR.
Henderson was also second in the league with a .426 on-base percentage, sixth with 48 stolen bases and an .883 OPS, seventh with 95 walks and eighth with an 81.36 stolen base percentage (48-for-59). His OBP and OPS were adjusted to add the two plate appearances he was short of qualifying.
He was 6-for-23 with five runs, an RBI, two steals and four walks in Oakland’s six-game ALCS loss to Toronto.
