Eddie Murray having over 500 home runs while never hitting more than 33 in a single season is a testament to his consistency. He's also the only guy to hit 500 home runs while never hitting 40 in a single season.
@@artvandelay94he’s only been around .400 obp, combine that with relatively low amount of At bats compared to early in his career and also lack of runs and rbis, he fell of a cliff production wise
Here's something interesting The current HBP leader in the KBO (Korean league) is Choi Jeong with 313 as of now, with the guy in 2nd place having 209. The weird thing is, he is still active (age 35) and the KBO plays only 144 games per season.
Your voice works so well in this kind of thing. Also that intro is ELITE. And the context for how many seasons it takes to get Barry Bonds' record shows how ridiculous that is great stuff
In my OOTP21 save, Rafael Devers was the one breaking the HR record but he had to play into his 40s with relative good health, and have an offensive environment that allowed Cody Bellinger to hit 60+ Home Runs not once, not twice, but three times (that game was before Cody's insane decline)
No chance currently, single season or career. The closest active player in single season has been Altuve twice, and his best was still around 40 hits short. Altuve also probably has the best shot at the all time mark, but at 32 he'd have to average 230+ hits a season until he was 42 to make it, so not much chance since he hasn't even had 200 in a seasons since 2017.
As is often the case with Ted Williams, it's a shame his career was shorted by war. Otherwise, he'd have the career walks record. He has the highest walk rate of all time, even surpassing Bonds.
Might want to update that Joey Gallo just set the career record for most times taking an obvious 3rd a strike right over the plate when down 2 or less runs with two outs and runners in scoring position.
I agree that home runs likely does get broken at some point just based on the way the game is trending. We definitely should get a 700 home run hitter too. But it might be another generation before we see one. There have been some pretty large gaps between those legends though. And it just really hard to do. ARod, Griiffey, and Trout all seemed like they may have had a shot at some point. Bill James Probability to reach milestone estimator has Trout at about a 9-10% chance of getting to 700 homers. I'll probably wait a few years before I look back at guys like Vlad, Soto, Tatis, JRod, Acuna, etc. Need a better idea of their 3 year baseline for it to mean much. I'd love to have that record broken by someone I could respect more though. Made the Cut did a video on likely 700 home run hitters that was pretty good.
Not very likely to happen at all. Most players who start in the majors as young as Soto either don't play much past their early 30's, retiring by 35 or so or they end up hampered by injuries throughout their 30's and a shell of their former self, like Griffey Jr.
Very true, Nolan Ryan was an absolute strikeout machine. But he also played 27 years. For reference the average hall of fame career is about 20 years. Similar situation with Pete Rose.
I also don’t feel no one cares about striking out because you have to also discuss the pitching these guys are seeing everyday. It’s insane how nasty these dudes are
Some of the most unlikely records to be broken are the negative ones like grounding into double plays and strikeouts. Because you have to play long enough but also be good enough to make up for the bad plays. It makes sense that Nolan Ryan has the most walks and Pujols has the most double plays.
Yeah guys gotta be good enough to play for long enough to break those records. It's not like any of the hitters on the list for most DP's or pitcher with most walks are bad players.
Albert Pujols almost broke the Sac Fly record by dam that final season with the Cards was memorable getting all the rbi's and 700 HR's. With the rule changes that might affect some of these records and maybe some of the untouchables. It also would have been nice is pitchers in his final season pluncked Biggio 3 more times.
Pitching Holds. The stat originated in 1986. Five of the top 10 leaders are still active. This official record will be broken nearly every season for awhile.
Love it! All you gotta do is start at an early age, stay healthy and play for 20 yrs and be the best power hitter in the league. Completely achievable 😅
This Soto thing... nice call. I never thought Bonds record (set in stone like Ripken´s record) could be broken, but it seems Soto has a small chance. Otoh, the Vladimir thing didnt age well. Just one year later he is off the pace, wayyyy off. Maybe he wont even reach 400.
As of today he has 93 walks through 99 games, and he had 135 walks last year. I think Soto's walks are intrinsic to him and not about how much protection he's getting in the lineup
@@BaseballsNotDead true my bad. Just found your channel and absolutely love it though. Also my only doubt with Soto is that he was playing on the Nats who had no other good hitters. So they could walk/pitch around him without worrying about the next guy up. Now on the Padres, with Tatis/Machado behind him-he may see more pitches.
That streak is such BS. There was a game in the middle if the streak where DiMaggio only reached on an obvious error so the scorer went and changed it to a hit because he was afraid he wouldn't make it out of the stadium if he left it as an error. The official scorer admitted what he did afterwards but no one ever brings it up. If i remember correctly it was somewhere between the 30-40th games.
Another guy who could possibly break the record for hit by pitch or come close to breaking it is mark canha. The last two seasons, he's lead the league with 28 and 27 hbp. He's currently at 108 and if he gets 20 a season for the next 10 years, he would be at 308 hbp
It's a good callout, but he's already older than Rizzo and 97 behind. I don't think Canha is the kind of guy who is going to be playing full-time until he's 43.
The one that I want to see is Aaron Judge staying healthy enough to eclipse Balco Barry Bond's faux home run records, both season and career. I really don't care when his Bonds' Fangurlz talk about steroid tests....anybody who saw his damn moon-sized head grow the way it did when he was with the Giants knows damn well he was juicing.
I would like to see Judge do it, but don't think the chances are good. He has 220 home runs at age 30. He would need to average 54.2 home runs per year to tie at age 40. I can see him getting to 600. Pujols was on pace to break the record early in his career and was ahead of Judge at that point. He just made it past 700 which is still impressive.
Bonds cheated. It baffles me he isn't disqualified from the record. At least he didn't beat Aaron by much so it wouldn't change the discussion a lot. Its not like the record breaker would be someone clinging on to an age 45 season to get their 756...
The only way that Bonds HR record could be broken is if MLB allowed the use of Peds and Steroids back into the game. After all it, takes one to break one.
@@dennisl1583 you can visibly see it what do you mean look at him all the year before that spring training ..you mean to tell me pirates Barry was on roids ? Why when he was already the best position player since Mickey mantle ..it wasn’t until Sosa and McGwire started becoming stars from the HR race that Barry got on the juice ..now everything after I agree lol but you can clearly SEE when he started juicing
I can't see anyone legit passing Hank Aaron's 755 Homeruns. No one will ever break Cal Ripkin's consecutive games played. Teams baby players too much now. Someone can break a nail and be scratched from the lineup.
I don’t think you should count the player who lead the league as a counting stat to beat their record. You should use the player who was second behind bonds for the year in walks because it’s odd for bonds to be going against himself
Listen, love the game strictly talking about the game…but with baseball, you know some of these records didn’t happen & some numbers were just “recorded”. Especially the ones with absolutely no footage? Please.
Baseball was immensely popular in the US for a long time. But you think people just made up some stats for records and no one ever noticed? You're probably the type who believes every ridiculous conspiracy theory you read on the internet too, aren't ya?
The end of the video where I said Guerrero Jr has the best shot to be the next to pass 60 HR in a season did not age well.

Has baseball changed so much that it's impossible to imagine another Ichiro taking the hits record?
There's definitely no active player that will come close.

Arraez seems good. .378 thru 165 PA so far.

fantastic video. great insight
Most underrated baseball CZcamsr.
Thanks!
I don't think Vlad's body has the longevity of Bonds or Aaron. He's more Prince Fielder in that regard.
He's closer to David Ortiz in height/weight than Fielder. Ortiz was killing it at age 40.
also prince had that crazy nerve issue in his neck which is a rare thing that doesnt automatically happen to you just becaise of a fluffy body type.
Fielder's career ending injury was a nerve issue in his neck, it had absolutely nothing to do with his body size or weight.
Really strong video, friend

Soto is very good at dramatically moving out the way of pitches. If he didn't do that, there are plenty of pitches that would be called strikes.
