Arizona Diamondbacks Ketel Marte Gets His 1000th Career Hit!
Congratulations are in order for one heck of a ball player. A guy who has been in the league for nine years, since 2015. In a game against the New York Yankees, the Arizona Diamondbacks Ketel Marte Gets His 1000th Career Hit.
He made it look easy too. In the leadoff spot for his team; Ketel Marte RIPS a leadoff double down the third-base line for his 1000th career hit. The Diamondbacks and Yankees have been exchanging blows during their series against each other. The Dbacks are actually responsible for handing the Yankees their first loss of the season; which had put them at 5-1.
Nevertheless, when all was said and done. Marte was quite effective against New York. Almost getting a hit during half of his appearances at the plate. Ketel went 5-for-12 in the three-game series and also scored a personal milestone and feat in the process.
Now of course, some may point out the timeframe it took Ketel to reach 1K. Stating others got there sooner. It’s not easy for some spectators to understand difficulty when people are watching guys hit that number and marker early on in their pro careers. We’re talking about players such as Jose Altuve, Nolan Arenado and Mike Trout.
However, truth is… most of us alive will never get 1,000 hits in at the pro level of Major League Baseball. So then, who is anyone to diminish such an achievement? What Marte has done is impressive, as well as amazing and he’s deserving of his flowers.
