Guardians' Jose Ramirez Makes Incredible MLB History

Jose Ramirez is a one-of-a-kind player. Not many players in MLB history have the combination of power and speed that Ramirez does, and he does nothing but showcase that throughout his career with the Cleveland Guardians.

On Friday, Ramirez stole second base in the bottom of the first inning, making it his 32nd stolen base of the season and 275th stolen base of his career. With the conclusion of this play, Cleveland’s star also made incredible baseball history. 

Ramirez becomes the 17th player in MLB history to log 275-or-more home runs and 275-or-more stolen bases during his career. 

He is the first primary third baseman (minimum 50 percent of games at the position) to accomplish this feat, the fourth player to do it with one club, and the second swing hitter to record these numbers, with the other being the legendary Carlos Beltran.
