The 27-year-old outfielder enters the 2026 season with 896 career walks, just 104 shy of the 1,000 mark. That total puts him on pace for some rare history, as he's drawn more walks than anyone before turning 27 last October or 28th this, coming October. Those consistency stands out, with his fewest walks in a full season at 100A back in 2019, and at least 100, 27 every year since 2021. Reaching 104 walks next year with Shatter Mickey Mantle's record for the youngest player to hit 1,000, as Mantle did it at, 29.
