Will Bruin has been quite the offseason addition for the Seattle Sounders. In this edition of Quest Diagnostics Advanced Stats, we examine his offensive production in his first year in the Emerald City.
After beginning the season as a spot starter and late substitute, Bruin has started 10 of the last 13 matches for which he’s been healthy and available and has produced fantastic numbers. He is tied with Clint Dempsey for the team lead with seven goals and is top 10 in Major League Soccer in goals per 90 minutes for players who have logged at least 500 minutes.
Bruin has nearly doubled his goal total from last year in Houston and is just five away from tying his career high with 13 games left in the regular season. Three more tallies would give him his fourth double-digit goal total in seven MLS seasons.
