How rare is it to have two five-hit games in three games?
I got him in the 23rd round for one of my fantasy baseball teams. I'm hoping I can have the NL batting champ on this particular team for the second straight year - I picked up Jeff McNeil last year as a free agent at the start of the season. I guess batting champions are not in particularly high demand anymore.

+1. I know that batting average is not a key indicator of winning games, but it’s the classic measure and a lot more impressive to me than a lot of things we do value now. It rewards consistent success by the batter. I doubt he hits .400 for the year, but I hope he keeps it up and comes close. I’m rooting for him, it would be a great throwback and historical event if he actually did manage to do it. 67 games, 102 hits, wow.
