Here’s our weekly look at 10 mind-blowing notes from the last week in baseball (Aug. 4-10).

Bobby baseball: Bobby Witt Jr. hit his 20th homer of the season on Friday, matching his total from his debut year in 2022. He had 30 stolen bases last season and entered Friday’s contest with 31 in ‘23. Witt is the first player in MLB history to have at least 20 home runs and at least 30 stolen bases in each of the first two seasons of his career.

Multi-faceted Mookie: Mookie Betts made his 30th start of the season at second base on Friday, joining a select group. Betts became the fifth player since 1900 to make at least 30 starts at second base and at least 60 starts in right field in a season, joining 2010 Ben Zobrist (Rays), 1986 Danny Tartabull (Mariners), 1914 Tex McDonald (Pittsburgh Rebels and Buffalo Buffeds of the Federal League) and 1908 Danny F. Murphy (A’s), per the Elias Sports Bureau.

Speedy rookie: Corbin Carroll notched his 35th stolen base of the season on Saturday, becoming the fourth rookie with at least 20 homers and at least 35 stolen bases in a season, joining 2012 Mike Trout, 1977 Mitchell Page and 1966 Tommie Agee. Carroll enters the weekend with 25 home runs and 38 stolen bases in 142 career games. If he gets two more stolen bases before his 160th career game, he will have the second-fewest games to 25 and 40, behind Mike Trout’s 128 and ahead of Bobby Bonds’ 160.

10-K rookies: Rookies Bryce Miller and Chase Silseth each had at least 10 strikeouts in Sunday's Mariners-Angels game. It was the second time since at least 1901 that two rookie pitchers each had at least 10 strikeouts in the same game. The other instance was Sept. 1, 1906, by Jack Coombs (18 strikeouts) and Joe Harris (14), in a 24-inning game during which both threw complete games.

Long homers: Matt Olson’s 39th homer of the season went 453 feet on Sunday. The Braves have now hit 21 homers of at least 450 feet this year. No other team has more than 10 (the Rockies). That’s the most homers of at least 450 feet by a team in a single season under Statcast (since 2015), two more than any other team (19 by the 2021 Rockies).

A royal performance: Logan Gilbert was spectacular on Tuesday, notching 12 strikeouts with no walks and just one hit allowed. He became the second pitcher in Mariners history to have at least 10 strikeouts with no walks and one or no hits allowed in a game, joining Félix Hernández, also with 12 strikeouts, in his perfect game on Aug. 15, 2012.

Welcome home: On Wednesday, Michael Lorenzen became the fifth pitcher to throw a no-hitter in his first home game with a franchise, joining Don Cardwell for the Cubs (5/15/1960), Jay Hughes for the Baltimore Orioles (4/22/1898), Bumpus Jones for the Reds (10/15/1892) and Ed Cushman for the Milwaukee Cream Citys (9/28/1884), per Elias. That’s right; it hadn’t happened since 1960 and has happened just twice since 1900. Cardwell, for the Cubs, had been traded two days earlier by none other than the Phillies.

Trade Deadline acquisition: Lorenzen became just the eighth pitcher to throw a no-hitter after switching teams midseason, per Elias. He joins Mike Fiers for the Astros (8/21/2015; previously pitched that season for MIL), Jim Bibby for the Rangers (7/30/1973; STL), Cardwell for the Cubs (5/15/1960; PHI), Hoyt Wilhelm for the Orioles (9/20/1958; CLE), Sal Maglie for the Dodgers (9/25/1956; CLE), Ray Caldwell for Cleveland (9/10/1919; BOS) and Bill Hawke for the Baltimore Orioles (8/16/1893; St. Louis Browns).

What a Sho: For the second straight year, Shohei Ohtani has reached 10 wins, reaching that mark on Wednesday, and has hit at least 15 home runs. He’s the only player to do that in a single season, let alone two seasons. And 15 homers is the low limit – he had 34 last year and has 40 this year. The next-most homers hit in a season by a player who won at least 10 games as a pitcher is 11, by 1918 Babe Ruth.

And still unswept: Teams obviously enter each series trying to win the set, but even just avoiding being swept is worth noting. To that end, the Orioles have now gone 76 straight series without being swept, entering the weekend. That’s tied with the 1904-06 A’s for fourth-most consecutive series of multiple games without being swept, per Elias. They trail only the 1942-44 Cardinals (125), 1903-05 Giants (106) and 1922-24 Yankees (83).
