MLB: Interesting Statistical Accomplishments in 2016

The 2016 MLB season has been quite an interesting one to watch for a number of reasons. Let’s take a look at a few accomplishments from this season.

There have been quite a few interesting statistical accomplishments during the 2016 campaign. Players like Trevor Story, Coery Seager, and Gary Sanchez took the baseball world by storm as rookies, delivering excellent seasons that belied their age and experience.

Meanwhile, there were a few elder statesmen that showed they had a bit left in the tank. David Ortiz could not have planned a better farewell tour, as he proved to still be one of the best hitters in the game. Ichiro Suzuki not only got his 3000th hit in the MLB, but set the all time professional hit record. Bartolo Colon hit his first career home run, and amazed us all with his effectiveness on the mound.

Hidden amongst these accomplishments were a few interesting statistics that may not receive enough recognition. These accomplishments, both positive and negative, are quite impressive, and, in some cases, difficult to pull off. Yet, here we are, at the end of the 2016 season, and these players made their presences felt in the record books.

So, let us take a quick look back at some of those more obscure achievements from this past year in the MLB. We will begin with a feat that no one would want to match.
