Happy Staturday Birdland! This week’s stats are all power-hitting themed, so let’s get to em!
Last night, Pedro Alvarez smacked his 20th home run giving the Orioles have six different players with 20+ home runs – the only team in Major League Baseball to do so in 2016.
Over the past few years, the Orioles have racked quite a lot of 20+ home run seasons:
Since 2012, the Orioles have had 22 season performances of 20+ home runs – the most in the Majors.
Manny is having another great season and is in some really special company:
Cal Ripken and Manny Machado are the only Orioles to have three 65+ extra-base hit seasons before their age-24 season.
