Philadelphia Phillies rookie Rhys Hoskins was at it again Wednesday, hitting his 17th home run of the season in only his 33rd game.
To put that into perspective, no other player in league history has ever hit more than 12 in their first 33 games.
The young left fielder is now hitting an incredible 310/.434/.784, and amazingly, is only four behind teammate Tommy Joseph, who leads the Phillies with 21 home runs.
