The 2020 season will feature several accomplishments you don’t want to miss. Here are 5 MLB milestones players can accomplish in 2020.

As the major league offseason now begins, expectations are already being set for the 2020 season. Projections for players’ statistics are already out and being speculated.

There were many breakout seasons in 2019 and next season those players have the opportunity to impress again and legitimize their legacy in the major leagues.

Certain veteran players have the chance to continue adding to their resumes, winning accolades, and adding more statistics to their reputation. Players that are borderline for Hall of Fame, or trying to build a case, have the opportunity to keep making their cases.

One thing that is on the whole baseball community’s radar is possible milestones that could be reached next year.

In 2019, no beyond historic milestones, like 500 home runs, 3,000 hits, or 300 wins, occurred. However, certain veterans did surpass certain marks.

Justin Verlander struck out his 3,000th batter. Zack Greinke won his 200th game. Albert Pujols drove in his 2,000th run.

Kenley Jansen saved his 300th game. Robinson Cano recorded his 2,500th career hit. Edwin Encarnacion and Nelson Cruz both crushed their 400th career home run this season.

These were a few of the milestones that were reached by players last season. Here are five MLB milestones to watch for in the 2020 season.
