MLB: Biggest surprises after first week of games

Trevor Story and his magic baseball swing

I’ll be completely honest … I watch a lot of baseball each season thanks to MLB.TV. I read about baseball all year long. I like to think I know a thing or two about the game after years of spending hours upon hours watching “America’s Pastime,” but where in the world did Colorado Rockies rookie Trevor Story sneak in from and who can we thank?

What a tale Story has put together in his first week at the MLB level. It is so unbelievable that even Disney probably would turn down this script if it were handed to them. This is actually happening, right?

In his first six MLB games, Story is batting .333 with nine hits, and seven of those being home runs, setting a new all-time record in that span of games to start an MLB career. He also has totaled 30 bases, collected 12 RBIs and in just 27 at-bats has a .357 on-base percentage and a 1.468 OPS.

His minor league career consists of a career .263 batting average in 537 games, with 70 home runs  and 242 RBIs in a span of four seasons at the MiLB level.

Yes, this story won’t continue like it is for the Rockies rookie (not at this pace anyway), but darn this has been really fun to watch and keep tabs on, because we’ve all witnessed a little history to open this ’16 season, so what more could we ask for?

I hope this streak continues and let’s just enjoy how far it goes. This “Story” is like a baseball fairytale that even the Brothers Grimm wouldn’t imagine.
