This Guy Seager? No His Brother. He's Not Too Bad.

Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager has now played 148 games between his 2015 call-up and the first 121 games of this season. In that time, he has begun authoring history.

Playing in a pitcher's stadium; facing the likes of Madison Bumgarner, Zack Grienke and Petco Park; and staffing the middle infield, Seager has pummeled NL pitching. His 26 homes and 47 doubles/triples make him one of the league's top sluggers -- at age 22. He's produced 52% better than the average batter and earned more than seven wins against replacement. 

Seager, the younger brother of Mariner star third baseman Kyle, was born the same year ARod began his career -- 1994. Less than a calendar year into his career, he's the Dodgers' best everyday player, despite a roster of multi-millionaires, and he's beginning to climb some impressive lists, many of which go beyond rookie status.

Seager is now the most homerific shortstop in Dodger history. He's the youngest shortstop in history to wallop three homers in one game. He's the first Dodger ever with a three-homer game and a three-double game in the same season. He owns the L.A. rookie record for doubles, with more than a month left in the season. He leads the Dodgers in WAR and most everything else that's good, batting .326/.387/.547 to start his career.

Here's the thing: even if you've heard of him, he's not top of mind, even among the plethora of young stars in the game. For a first-round draft pick playing in Hollywood, he generates a minimum of buzz.

That will end soon. The Dodgers are playoff-bound again, and a longer stay will finally put him in the spotlight. Even absent that, Seager is a cinch to win the Rookie of the Year and is in the conversation for MVP.

Go ahead and ignore him. The record books are already noticing.
