The Texas Rangers have played in 24 games so far this season. RF Joey Gallo has reached base in 23 of those games.
Let’s take a moment to recognize just how difficult this to achieve over any stretch of games. The fact that this 23 game on-base streak has also occurred in consecutive games (Gallo has had one day off) only adds to the caliber of this incredible feat.
