With all the events of this tumultuous championship weekend, one big postseason achievement may have been lost in the shuffle. The heroics of
Steve Pearce,
David Price,
Nathan Eovaldi and
Joe Kelly kind of overshadowed the terrific playoff run of
J.D. Maritnez. Over his 50 postseason at-bats, Martinez hit right at the .300 mark—with three home runs, two doubles, six runs scored and an OPS of .923. Moreover,
he drove in fourteen runs—more than any other player in the postseason. That makes him just he sixth player in MLB history to lead the big leagues in RBIs in
both the regular season and postseason. The list of the
other players to achieve this lofty goal is pretty impressive:
Jose Canseco (1988);
Lou Gehrig (1928);
Hank Aaron (1957);
Duke Snider (1955);
Hank Greenberg (1940).
Congratulations, J.D.!
