The 2022 MLB regular season is three months old and the All-Star break is right around the corner. Before you know it, the trade deadline will be here. There's still half a season to play, but several important dates are coming up, then it'll be time to get into the dog days of summer and the postseason races. With that in mind, our weekly series breaking down various trends acro s the league continues Wednesday with a look one player chasing a rare milestone, one team's struggles in the field, and one GM finding succe s with his former Jaromir Jagr Jersey players. . ATL 1B #28 BA0.256R35HR12RBI47SB0 Sixty home runs is a hallowed number in baseball. Only five players have ever hit 60 homers in a season (Barry Bonds, Babe Ruth, Roger Maris, Mark McGwire twice, Sammy Sosa thrice) and they've done it a combined eight times. made a run at 60 homers during his 2017 NL MVP season. Alas, he fell one short and finished with 59 dingers, the ninth-highest total in history. Sixty homers is a historic total, but did you know 60-double seasons are more rare than 60-homer seasons? Only six players in history have recorded 60 doubles in a season and none of them did it more than once. Here are the six 60-double seasons in history: Earl Webb, 1931 : 67George Burns, 1926 Cleveland: 64Joe Medwick, 1936 : 64Hank Greenberg, 1934 : 63Paul Waner, 1932 : 62Charlie Gehringer, 1936 Tigers: 60Only six 60-double seasons in history and none since 1936. The most recent Derek Sanderson Jersey run at 60 doubles was in 2019. He had 58 doubles split between Tigers (37 doubles) and (21 doubles). Castellanos led MLB in doubles that season but did not lead either league because of the midseason trade. Todd Helton had a 59-double season with the in 2000. This season first baseman is in position to make a run at baseball's first 60-double season in nearly a century. He leads baseball with 32 doubles through 82 team games, putting him on pace for 63. No other player has more than 27 doubles ( and are tied for second). Olson's 32 doubles are already the most in a first half in franchise history. Olson has a good shot to go into the All-Star break with 35 doubles. Only one player has done that since 2014 ( had 35 doubles at the 2019 All-Star break), and only 15 have done it period. Hall of Famer Edgar Martinez holds the record with 42 first-half doubles in 1996. had 39 doubles in the first half with the 2013 . It's worth noting Truist Park is not a great doubles park in general, especially for lefty hitters. The stadium's three-year park factor for lefty doubles is 99, so almost exactly league average (100). It neither inflates doubles (like Fenway Park) nor suppre ses doubles (like Yankee Stadium). Olson won't get a doubles boost from his home ballpark, upping the difficulty as he pursues 60 doubles. Of course, Olson is known more for home runs than doubles. His 12 homers put him on pace for 24, well south of last year's 39 dingers with the . Olson is likely to fall short of 60 doubles because hitting 60 doubles in a season is extremely hard, and also because he's probably going to start turning some would-be doubles into homers in the second half. "I know that doubles have been happening at a little higher pace than they have in the past, and home runs are probably a little lower, but as long as I'm driving the ball in the gap and getting a few out, that's where I want to stay," . "... Listen, extra-base hits is what you want to go out and do. Especially me being a middle-of-the-lineup first baseman, that's kind of my job, to drive in runs." The Braves franchise has been around in some form since 1876 and the team record is 51 doubles by Hall of Famer Hugh Duffy in 1894. The Atlanta era Torey Krug Kids Jersey record (since 1966) is Marcus Giles with 49 in 2003. Olson has a chance to not only beat that record, but shatter it. Replacing wasn't going to be easy, but Olson and his doubles are doing it rather well. A year ago the had a charmed season in which seemingly everything that could go right, did go right. Players up and down the roster had career years, including several veterans in their mid-30s, and the result was a franchise record 107 wins. That includes the New York years. The previous San Francisco era (since 1958) record was 103 wins in 1963 and 1993. Wins have been harder to come by for the Giants this season, especially lately. San Francisco has lost six straight games, the team's longest losing streak since a seven-gamer in May 2019, and is 3-12 in its last 15 games. One year after winning a franchise record 107 games, the Giants are hovering around .500 as the All-Star break approaches (they're 40-39). One of the biggest difference between the 2021 Giants and the 2022 Giants is defense. San Francisco was an above-average defensive team last season. They weren't a truly elite defensive team last year, but Jake Debrusk Women Jersey they were comfortably better than the league average. This year the Giants are one of the defensive clubs. Their MLB ranks: 20212021Defensive efficiency* .707 (6th in MLB) .676 (29th in MLB) Defensive runs saved +32 (11th in MLB) -21 (27th in MLB) Outs above average +27 (5th in MLB) -33 (30th in MLB) The Giants just wrapped up an eight-game homestand in which they went 2-6 and committed 10 errors, plus had several other plays that should have been made but were not. Defenders can only make errors on balls they get to and the Giants, with MLB's oldest collection of position players and a decided lack of athleticism, simply don't get to as many balls as they should. Bad defense hurts in so many ways. More hits fall in, more runners reach base, more runs cro s the plate, more pitches have to be thrown, more relievers have to be used, so on and so forth. Bad defense alone usually isn't enough to sink a season, but it can be very costly, and drag a team's ceiling down. That is happening with the 2022 Giants. Seemingly every night they make a misplay (or just flat out don't make a play they should have made) that costs them dearly. "I think the steps we have in place right Joakim Nordstrom Kids Jersey now are the correct ones," . "I think it's just consistently tuning the mindset of our players, reminding them they need to be aggre sive at all times and expect that they can make any play on the field." SD LF #10 BA0.244R50HR8RBI38SB4 At 47-36, the have the fourth-best record in National League. How they got there is a bit unexpected. Franchise star has yet to play this season after suffering a broken wrist in the offseason. . The Padres have received below positional average offense from first base, shortstop, center field, right field, and DH. Yuck. Manny Machado has been San Diego's best player all season and that's no surprise. The case can be made their next three best players are all former . GM AJ Preller spent 2004-14 in the Texas fron
