In this, his fifth year in the Bigs, Gennett has already set career bests in home runs and RBIs and will likely reach new heights for a full season in batting average, OBP, SLG, OPS, etc.
He also did some record-breaking with a four-home run, 10-RBI day in June.
But nothing will compare with earlier this week, when he hit his 20th home run and came in for mop-up pitching duty in a 15-5 loss to the Cubs.
In doing so, Gennett became only the second player in MLB history to hit his 20th home run in a game in which he pitched.
The other player to do so also had a nickname.
Babe.
Put that on your resume.
