Most triples in a major league career since the 2006 draft….

1 Dan Murphy Luray ’05 25
2 Jason Kipnis Covington ’06-7 21
3 Jon Jay Staunton ’04 15
4 Cory Spangenberg Winchester ’10 7

Brett Gardner Watch: 50 career triples- in 1st place, with double the next highest!

A few things to notice about this list:

  • Yonder Alonso is not 4th like most of the other lists (he’s 8th)
  • Ryan Schimpf went from zero to #5 on this list in about 220 at-bats
  • This is a list of EVERY major leaguer (since 2006) to record a triple at all. Look at those “1’s” at the bottom.
