Interesting baseball stats

The Astros Combined No Hitter yesterday by Tatsuya Imai, Steven Okert & Alimber Santa broke an MLB Drought going back to September, 2024.

2025 was the first MLB Season without a No No since 1969.

 


That 1892 Cinci team has some great player names. In addition to Bumpus:

-Bid
-Germany
-Bug
-Tip
-Farmer
-Jocko
-Ice Box

That's not even including that most famous player on that team, who went by "Commy" and "The Old Roman".

Better known as the Owner for the 1919 Black Sox, Charles Comiskey.

 

The Cubs are currently on a 10 game losing streak and have held the lead in only 2 innings during that streak. Now that is being consistent.
 

Who are the only two MLB players to have accomplished the following in the same season -

Rookie of the Year
MVP
Gold Glove

Fred Lynn - That one I am 99.9% sure of being correct.

The other is a guess, Cal Ripken Jr.
 

For the 1st time in Yankees history, all 9 players in the starting lineup had at least TWO base hits.


Take that Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Mantle, Jackson & Jeter.

Bobby Witt Jr. Might be destined for Mike Trout’s career
 




Sánchez breaks Phils' 115-year-old scoreless-innings streak record​


SAN DIEGO -- Cristopher Sánchez has etched his name into the Phillies’ record book.
When the left-hander retired Jackson Merrill to end the fourth inning in Wednesday’s game against the Padres, he officially surpassed Hall of Famer Grover Alexander for the longest scoreless innings streak by any Phillies pitcher since 1893 (when the mound moved to its current distance). Sánchez's four innings raised his total to 41 2/3 innings (and counting), eclipsing Alexander's 41-inning streak as a rookie in 1911.

It wasn’t without drama, though. Padres first baseman Gavin Sheets hit a loud 339-foot flyout to end the third inning, then Manny Machado started the fourth with a towering fly ball to left field that sent left fielder Edmundo Sosa racing back to the wall before ultimately settling underneath it on the warning track for a 356-foot flyout.

Two batters later, Ramón Laureano ripped a two-out double to put a runner in scoring position with the streak hanging in the balance. But Sánchez got Merrill to roll a ball to second baseman Bryson Stott for the record-clinching out.
 






I think the other hit over .300 his first 10 seasons of MLB. I will let others guess to not be a ball hog.
My first thought is Ichiro.
Correct Sir
Giambi probably should have won the MVP that year but the new shinny player got all the attention.

Ichiro being a 27 year old "rookie" with more than 1,200 hits over 9 seasons in the Japanese Majors is quite an anomaly.

Definitely a cool story and he had a great year but Giambi's was ridiculous. Ichiro would never finish higher than 7th in the MVP voting after his 2001 "rookie" season even though he had better seasons.

Agree, but given the BALCO fallout from Giambi's career shortly after the 2001 season I have to say it was poetic justice.
 











I did not know this was even a rule. Figured it is always a sac fly and RBI.


It just happened in tonight's Twins game with Gray getting Martin home in this fashion with a pop up to the 3B running away from the plate.

Vargas made a great throw, but an equally stellar slide by Martin beat the tag.
