Ramirez, 32, is hitting .294 with the 20 home runs, 55 RBIs and 29 stolen bases. One of the best players in the league, he's also carrying an .885 OPS. In addition to his 20-20 milestone, Ramirez is getting closer to other major milestones that he's likely to hit in 2026. He has 275 home runs and 919 RBIs, meaning he's closing in on 300/1000.
