Stat of the Day: Mondesi’s Masterpiece

Adalberto Mondesi set career highs last season in games played (102), runs (58), hits (109), doubles (20), triples (10), RBI (62) and stolen bases (43). Despite two separate stints on the Injured List that sidelined him for almost a third of the season, Mondesi still produced impressive totals.

His 10 triples in just 102 games matched teammates Hunter Dozier and Whit Merrifield, and Arizona’s Eduardo Escobar for the Major League lead. Mondesi became the first American League player to record as many as 10 triples in 102 games or fewer since Glenn McQuillen (12 triples in 100 games) of the 1942 St.
