José Ramírez Makes MLB History with Extra-Base Hits

José Ramírez has made MLB history by becoming the second player aged 33 or older to achieve eight extra-base hits and eight stolen bases through his team's first 20 games.

José Ramírez stands in rare company with his performance in the 2026 MLB season.

He has four doubles and four homers, and is 8-for-8 stealing bases, despite his average being only .224 entering Friday's action.

This feat has only been achieved once before, by Honus Wagner in 1907, making José Ramírez part of an exclusive group in baseball history.

Wagner had 13 steals already in that 1907 season, slightly ahead of José Ramírez's pace.

The Cleveland Guardians superstar is well on his way to another special season, with his current performance showing no signs of slowing down.

José Ramírez's achievement is even more impressive given his slow start to the season.

The 1907 Pirates, led by Honus Wagner, finished second in the National League that year.

Wagner finished the 1907 season with a .350 average, 38 doubles, 14 triples, six home runs, and 61 steals.

José Ramírez will look to continue his strong form and lead the Cleveland Guardians to success in the 2026 MLB season.
