Agreed. In most cases there is still a solid correlation between the top hitters by advanced stats and counting stats. Guys like Trea Turner show how better lineups, better spots in the order (and a DH in the NL) can change an RBI situation. Arguably a better season in 2021 than 2022 (142 wRC+ vs. 128) but 23 extra RBI's last year. But both are still great seasons and the extra RBI's make 2022 a little sexier.
If you really want to get into a fun old school vs. advanced stats conversation, bring up Dante Bichette 1999.
