It's easy to forget he had some really good string of games as a rookie after how badly he played the past two years

The data nerd in me LOVES that graph! Thanks Felix!

I'd be curious to see how other players' early careers look in comparison. Guys like Harper, Stanton, Soto, etc. Not that Walker would ever become any of them, but just to see what some of the biggest names look like. I'm sure they all have their peaks and valleys, but I'm assuming the valleys wouldn't be as deep or as wide.

See if this link works for you. Should be Judge's rolling wOBA from his 2017 season. You can change the year, how many game average, etc.

If it doesn't, go to their player page on FanGraphs, then select "Player Graphs" from the left side menu, select "By Game" for your TimeFrame, then you can adjust everything else as you see fit.
