Julio Rodriguez, the star outfielder for the Seattle Mariners, is currently dominating the baseball world like never before. In an almost unprecedented feat, he achieved his fourth consecutive four-hit game on Saturday night, solidifying his place in the history books. This accomplishment is truly remarkable considering Rodriguez is only in his second MLB season.
In his last four games, Rodriguez has amassed a staggering total of 17 hits, with each game yielding four, four, five, and four hits respectively. This impressive performance has resulted in an outstanding batting average of .773 during this span.
What makes this even more extraordinary is that Rodriguez now holds the record for the most hits in a four-game stretch in Major League Baseball history. He surpassed Milt Stock’s previous record of 16 hits in 1925 when Stock played for the Brooklyn Robins, now known as the Los Angeles Dodgers. Furthermore, Rodriguez has joined an elite club alongside Stock as the only players in MLB history to achieve four consecutive games with at least four hits.
To put Rodriguez’s accomplishments into perspective, his batting average increased by an impressive 22 points during these four games, going from .256 to .278. In fact, Rodriguez has accumulated more hits since Wednesday than Josh Donaldson of the New York Yankees has throughout the entire season (15).
Comparing the team performances, the Yankees have 17 hits, four runs, 25 total bases, and two home runs as a team since Wednesday. In contrast, Rodriguez alone has matched these impressive numbers with 17 hits, five runs, 25 total bases, and two homers.
The Mariners made a wise decision to secure Rodriguez’s future early in his career. Before his Rookie of the Year campaign concluded last year, he signed a long-term contract worth $210 million over 14 years, with the potential to exceed $400 million by the end of the agreement. Rodriguez not only became an All-Star for the second consecutive season but also finished seventh in the AL MVP voting last year.
As the Mariners prepare to conclude their series against the Houston Astros, all eyes will be on Rodriguez as he attempts to achieve a historic fifth consecutive four-hit game. If successful, he will set a new MLB record.
As the baseball world continues to witness the scorching hot streak of Julio Rodriguez, the star outfielder for the Seattle Mariners, his relentless pursuit of greatness is rewriting the history books. Saturday night marked his fourth straight game with an astonishing four hits, a feat that is rarely seen in the world of professional baseball.
