With hitters approaches nowadays and the way hitting is taught in general, we will never see a player hit .400 in a season again

I highly highly doubt anyone ever hits 3 grand slams in one inning
Also, note that he hit those off the same pitcher. Which may be even more amazing.

Pete Rose seriously attacked Joe D's consecutive hit record. It nearly killed him and he was left just bitter and confused in the end. He was still 13 games away.

Most of the good ones have been covered in this thread but
Joe Dimaggio’s 56 game hit streak. Broken on game 57 followed by a 15 game hitting streak recording a hit in 71 out of 72 games.
Ichiro’s Single Season Hits Record, 262 hits in 2004.
Rickey Henderson’s Single Season SB Record, 130 Steals in 1982.
Hack Wilson’s Single Season RBI Record, 191 RBI’s in 1930.
Chief Wilson’s 36 Triples in a Single Season in 1912.
Barry Bonds Single Season Walks Record, 232 in 2004.
Pete Rose’s 15,890 Plate Appearances.
I also doubt you ever see another player hit .400 in a single season ever again.

Both off of Chan Ho Park.
Hitting two GS in one inning is outrageous. The same pitcher being left in to give up two GS to the same hitter in the same inning is unfathomable.

Jim Abbott no hitter with one hand. No way someone with zero hands throws one.

Joe Sewell had over 7000 lifetime ABs and struck out 114 times.

quote:
Over nearly 145 years of professional baseball, no player was tougher to strike out than Hall of Fame shortstop Joe Sewell. In 7,132 career at-bats, Sewell heard the umpire say “Strike three” just 114 times. That’s one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, or once every 17 games, or in just .014 percent of his total times at the plate. Hall of Fame slugger Babe Ruth, whose power at the plate became synonymous with baseball during the time he and Sewell played, racked up nearly 12 times more punchouts in the big leagues.
quote:
So it was more than a noteworthy occurrence when on May 13, 1923, Joe Sewell struck out twice in one game for the first time in his career. In truth, it was more like an historical aberration.
quote:
Lest anyone thought Sewell was falling into a slump, the patient shortstop did not strike out again for another 32 games (more than a month’s time), and fanned just nine more times the entire season. After 12 total punchouts in the 1923 campaign, Sewell would only become more disciplined as time went on. Between 1924 and his final season in 1933, Sewell recorded two seasons with just three strikeouts and three more with only four strikeouts. In fact, he was hit by a pitch more times than he struck out in five different seasons during that span.

120 of those were intentional. 120. That is ridiculous.

Cy Young’s 749 complete games. 749! Last year’s MLB leader had 3.
If that player replicates that feat they will break the record in about 250 years. In comparison to acknowledge the absurdity of that record, last year’s MLB wins leader would break Cy Young’s win record in about 25 years.

Some are obvious.
No one is touching anything CY Young did, most pitching records will stay forever.
I honestly don't think anyone will top 191 RBI by Havk Wilson or the. 471 single season average by Vargas.

Base stealing is about a third of what it was when I was watching MLB in the 80s and 90s. I miss that version of ball.
But the rules can and have changed. Aren’t they considering having a pinch runner that can come in multiple times a game? With the new pick off rule and larger bases, players could have 5-6 steals in a game.

Unlikely any pitcher will ever strike out five batters in an inning. Last time four batters were struck out in an inning was Tyler Glasnow of the Tampa Bay Rays on July 7, 2023.
There have been only a few instances of a pitcher having an "immaculate inning" by striking out three batters on nine pitches in an inning. Extremely unlikely a pitcher will ever strike out four batters in an inning on 12 pitches.

One more baseball record that is almost sure to stand forever. Mauro Ruiz, a pitcher in the Mexican League in 1963, was both the winning pitcher and the losing pitcher in a single game. (Hint: suspended game, then a subsequent trade before resumption of the game.)

Cal Ripken Jr.’s 2,632 consecutive games played.
Nobody is even trying to break that record. At least with many of these other records you know there is an outside chance based on probability in the sense that every hitter is trying to hit the ball and every pitcher is trying to get an out. Ripken's record requires a player to say I will never take a day off for the next 17 years and pray I don't get injured. Nobody wants to do that.
