Article from Fangraphs about how hard it was for a guy who ahd the 2014 season Rizzo did to improve on it...

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/anthony-rizzo-opened-up-the-lower-half/

I will now wait for JORR to tell me why this writer is totally wrong.

Additionally, there’s this — there are 226 players who have batted at least 250 times in each of the last two years. Here are this year’s biggest increases in average fastball velocity seen:

Anthony Rizzo, +1.5 miles per hour
Justin Smoak, +1.2
Chris Coghlan, +1.1
Yoenis Cespedes, +1.1
Cody Asche, +1.0

there is no doubt he stepped it up this season. The heck of it is, he will probably finish (as he is now) 2nd on the team in RBI to a rookie who missed the first several games of the season. Yet he will get (and deserve) consideration for the MVP.
