If someone is in the same conversation as Willie Mays and Barry Bonds, it's clear they're doing something right.
San Francisco Giants superstar Rafael Devers has been a one-man wrecking crew not just this past week, but dating back to when he started his first three-game home run streak on Aug. 24.
To say Devers is hot right now would be an understatement, and that's proven by him being only the third player in franchise history to hit six or more home runs and draw seven or more walks in a six-game span.
Mays did so back in 1958 and Bonds did so in 2004, so it's been 22 years since the Giants have seen this type of hot streak.
Video like numbers may be discrediting just how well Devers has done since August 31.
Fresh off a two-home run game , the 29-year-old has officially hit six home runs and has drawn seven walks in his last six games.
Devers, who has eight RBIs in the first two games of this series against the New York Mets , has 13 RBIs dating back to August 31, and more importantly, has 21 RBIs since Aug. 24.
On Aug. 24-26, it marked the first stretch where Devers would home run in three consecutive games. Somehow, he managed to do it again from Aug. 31-Sept. 2.
While it seems like a stretch, NBC Sports ' Kylen Mills reported that Devers could be the first player in franchise history to have 40 doubles, 40 home runs, and 100 RBIs in a single season.
Currently, Devers is at 34 doubles, 35 homers, and 91 RBIs. Knowing there are 19 games to go, that would require him to hit just six more doubles, five more homers, and record nine more RBIs.
If that were to become a reality , it would mean Devers needs to hit one double roughly every three games, one homer nearly once every four games, and then record one RBI every two games.
Depending on how long this hot streak lasts, it's absolutely possible. Devers is now hitting .258 this season with an OPS that's good for 14th in the league at .858.
Back on Aug. 12, Devers had a slugging percentage of .467. In less than one month, that number has risen to .519.
Overall, this is the highest his OPS has been all year, and it's not even close.
