With the month of June now behind us, we take a look back at the historic month of Baltimore Orioles' slugger Anthony Santander.
Baltimore Orioles' slugger Anthony Santander joined an incredible group in team history after putting up a massive month of June.
According to Baseball Reference, only two players in Orioles history have hit more home runs in a single calendar month than Santander did in June. He popped 13 homers in 28 games. That tied Nelson Cruz and Frank Robinson and trailed Harlond Clift and Jim Gentile . It should be noted that Santander's 28 games were fewer played than each of those players.The 29-year-old native of Venezuela now has 22 homers and 55 RBI for the season. Though he's hitting only .
He's in the final year of his rookie contract and will become a free agent next season. He should be one of the more desirable offensive pieces on the trade market. Santander and the Orioles will head to Seattle to open up a series with the Mariners on Tuesday night. First pitch is set for 9:40 p.m. ET as Grayson Rodriguez pitches against George Kirby.
Seattle enters play at 47-39 and in first place in the American League West, though they only lead the Astros by 3.0 games.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
