Don’t know if anyone saw this or not, but on Aug. 15 Seattle’s young star Julio Rodriguez finished the night batting .256. Four days/games later he ended the night batting .278. So he raised his BA 22 points. Not a big deal if this were April or May. Or even June. But it’s the middle of August, and he’s played in almost every game. So how did he do it?
He set a record of collecting 17 hits in 4 games, only the second person ever to collect as many as 16 hits in a four game stretch.
He went 17 for 21 with two doubles, two HRs and 8 RBI. Crazy ABs!!!
