As I was cruising Twitter last night, I came across a post from user @MBrownstein89 that highlighted a pretty incredible stat about former Blue Jay slugger Carlos Delgado.
Delgado is part of an exclusive group of hitters to every have 95 or more extra-base hits in a single season, while also having an OBP of .470 or higher. The others on the list? Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, and Barry Bonds. That’s some impressive company.
That then led me to looking back at Delgado’s stats from that season, and they were just as impressive as I expected.
