It’s true that Seager’s bad luck with injuries ha hampered yet another season. However, he is having what is otherwise one of the more extraordinary offensive seasons in a while—particularly for a shortstop.

He’s played only 104 games, which is a tad less than two-thirds of a season. And yet he has 41 doubles and 31 homers, for a total of 72 extra-base hits. That’s a 162-game pace of 112 xbh, which would be the third most all-time behind only Babe Ruth in ‘21 and Gehrig in ‘27.

Even if he were able to play 155 games, that would put him on pace for 107 xbh, which would tie for third most in a season with Bonds (‘01) and Chuck Klein (1930).

There have only been 15 100-xbh seasons in history, so this pace is in itself quite extraordinary. Of course, Seager won’t het there, because he missed a month or so with injury. But the dude is for real. And if could just stay healthy……

As it is, he qualifies for the rate stats, and leads the AL in average, slugging, and OPS.

A monster season that deserves to be recognized. And, similar to sentiments expressed about Yordan, hopefully he can stay healthy and show us what he’s capable of doing in a full, post-shift season.

Right on & well said 👍 Corey has had an absolute superstar year so far yet stays under the radar somehow. I’ve been keeping up with the Rangers this year and have been nothing short of amazed at how consistent he’s been. What a move by the Rangers…
