San Diego Padres third baseman Machado has reached the 350-game Championship Championship

The fiery Machado career 350 hit into the exclusive palace

Manny Machado has recently reached milestones that are difficult to keep track of.

The Padres' star third baseman hit his 350th career hit a 350th hit in the final game of the series at Oracle Park on June 7 (June 6 local time in San Francisco). A few days ago, reporters told him that he was just one touchdown away, but the Padres were in the middle of a crucial schedule, and Machado was concerned about other things.

*(Note: June 20-22 is a Star Wars-themed weekend, and the special ticket includes a limited number of bobbleheads)*

So it wasn't until his teammate Xander Bogaerts congratulated him in the next game, and Macha made history in many ways.

"Completely forget," Machado said, "isn't real yet, but it's pretty cool." "

The 32-year-old Machado became one of only 33 players to reach 350 hits before the age of 33 since 1901 (a total of 102 players in history) and also entered the more elite group with 1,971 career hits (29 hits to 2,000 hits) - only 11 players reached 2,000 hits + 350 hits in the 32-year-old season or earlier, eight of whom were inducted into the Hall of Fame (Hank Aaron, Jimmie Foxx, Lou). Gehrig), Ken Griffey Jr., Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays, Mel Ott, Frank Robinson, Miguel Cabrera, Albert Puhos Pujols (not yet eligible) and Alex Rodriguez.

"They are all legends," Machado admits, "and it's surreal to be on par with them – to be satisfied with half of their achievements in the second half of their careers." We are because we have set foot on the road of baseball. "

Machado is sure of Cooper's trajectory and has been at the peak of his striking performance this season. His two-point shot was on the Giants' left-handed Robbie Ray (current National League Pitcher of the Month) to give the Padres a 2-0 lead in the third inning. A nine-inning hit against finisher Camilo Doval hit a strong reverse first base hit, making two hits in four days out. Tuesday's Thursday hit night included a crucial two-out run against Dorval.

"His striking strategy is paired with a wonderful swing," Padres head coach Mike Shildt commented, "and Manny is in good shape. "

Machado had a batting average of 0.317/an attack index of 0.880 this season, and both batting average and 0.382 batting percentage hit career highs. He has been more patient in drafting, with a 9.8% drop rate well above his career average.

At the beginning of the season, the long fight was a little sluggish, and in the past two weeks, five of the eight bombs were announced. Last season, he set a new Padres all-time record with 175 hits (surpassing Nate Colbert's 163 hits) and is expected to write a new chapter in the future.

"350 is a gift," Machado said, "and it's a great achievement, and I'm grateful." "
