Carlos Correa and Trevor Story set records that will blow your mind

Welcome to The Walk Off, the nightly MLB recap from Big League Stew. Here we’ll look at the top performers of the night, show you a must-see highlight and rundown the scoreboard. First, we start with a game you need to know about.

At 21 years old, Carlos Correa has already accomplished more than most other professional baseball players. For starters, he was the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2012. In 2015, he won an American League Rookie of the Year award and also played in the postseason.

That’s all quite impressive, but would you also believe he’s already the Houston Astros all-time home run leader among shortstops?

It’s true!

In Saturday’s 7-2 win against the Angels, Correa connected for his 15th home run of the season and his 36th as a major leaguer, which moved him atop the Astros list.

Carlos Correa has hit 36 HR as a shortstop, the most in club history.

Needless to say, it’s not exactly a who’s who list of players who have played shortstop for Houston. Still, we’re talking about a franchise that’s been in existence since 1962. That’s 44 seasons. By the time Correa is done though, it’ll probably be 144 years before another shortstop approaches his numbers.

TREVOR STORY STANDS ALONE

Amazingly, Correa wasn’t the only shortstop making history on Saturday. Colorado Rockies rookie Trevor Story hit two more home runs in the their 8-4 win against Atlanta. The first of those two homers gave Story 25 on the season, allowing him to pass former Rockies Troy Tulowitzki for the most ever by a NL rookie shortstop.

That’s not all though. With his second home run, he passed Todd Helton for the most rookie home runs in Rockies history. Now he’ll set his sights on the NL overall record, which is undoubtedly within reach.

The NL record for homers by a rookie is 38. Story has a chance to reach that before September.

Some really hot players out there. I hope they are not taking performance enhancing drugs (HGH).
