There are few ever to do it like Jose.
Guardians' Jose Ramirez is 2nd player in MLB history with prodigious, speedy record originally appeared on The Sporting News
Jose Ramirez, any way you want to slice it, is one of this era's best baseball players.
On Saturday, he did even better. The Cleveland Guardians' superstar joined a club that had previously only featured one player in MLB history.
Ramirez made his mark by homering his first time up in Minnesota, his 30th blast of the season.
It's back-to-back seasons for Ramirez with 30-plus homers, 30-plus doubles and 40-plus steals.
He's only the second player ever to have two of those seasons in his career, according to The Athletic's Zack Meisel.
The first? Alfonso Soriano, who did it in both 2002 and 2006.
As of the point Ramirez hit his home run on Saturday, he also had 31 doubles and 40 steals.
Last season, Ramirez went for 39 doubles, 39 home runs and 41 steals.
The Guardians are red hot, in part because Ramirez continues to be a star, and it has gotten them right back into the thick of the playoff race with next week marking the final week of the regular season.
And no matter what happens, Ramirez will have put together yet another exquisite season.
At this point, it's like clockwork. Ramirez hits doubles and homers, and when he's on first base, he often takes second.
Don't take it for granted, because there have been few to ever do it like Jose.
