[MLB Metrics] Isiah Kiner-Falefa is the first Yankee since Babe Ruth in 1921 to record a strikeout, triple, home run, and a steal of home in the same season.

1. Isiah has honestly been one of the brightest parts of this season. Judge obviously was too before he went down and Cole’s been stellar.

   But IKF just has that fight in him. Dude didn’t even know he’d have a starting job at ST, and never complained. Just put in work— at SS, in LF, in CF, at pitcher— and he’s hitting much better.

2. Never thought I’d say this after last year, but ever since he lost his starting SS job to Volpe, he’s definitely earned his pinstripes and he’s certainly earned my respect. Not even once did he have any kind of attitude, no pouting if he wasn’t in the lineup, no head down after an out, no whining… just professional through and through.

3. Damn, that’s an accomplishment. He’s doing whatever they ask and seemingly enjoying it. Maybe that can rub off on some people.

4. …before the All-Star break

5. I mean, shit, how many people have done this in the entire history of baseball…? Can’t be many.

6. SDS don’t be cowards give me my two way 99 IKF now

7. He is certainly making it a fun show.

8. bench donaldson and give him third base, his natural spot

9. Not saying I saw Babe Ruth play, but considering how that guy was built it’s pretty amazing that he was able to steal home

10. 🐐

11. What’s most shocking is that Babe Ruth stole home
