It's been a historic season for the rookie, who entered Saturday hitting .354/.425/.800 in 17 games this postseason. He surpassed Derek Jeter's record fr rookie hits on Friday during Game 3 with his ninth-inning home run, which also earned him his 52nd total base of the playoffs, breaking David Freese's record for the most in a single postseason.
