Here’s our weekly look at 10 mind-blowing notes from the last week in baseball (July 21-27).

Impactful debut: The Brewers’ Sal Frelick did it all in his MLB debut on Saturday with three hits, two RBIs (including the go-ahead sacrifice fly in the bottom of the eighth), and multiple good catches. Frelick’s three hits were tied for the most by a Brewers player in his MLB debut, with Steve Bowling (9/7/76) and Sixto Lezcano (9/10/74). Frelick is the only one of those three to also have multiple RBIs in the game.

High velo: Oscar Colás pulled off a particularly powerful outfield assist for the White Sox on Sunday, unfurling a 100.9 mph throw to the plate. It edged out a 100.0 mph throw from Fernando Tatis Jr. for the the fastest-tracked outfield assist of the year in MLB. It was also the White Sox fastest-tracked outfield assist under Statcast (2015).

Assists abound: Mark Canha had three outfield assists on Sunday Night Baseball, tying the Mets’ single-game record. He joined Endy Chavez (6/4/06), Joel Youngblood (5/23/81), Gene Clines (5/7/75) and Gus Bell (4/11/62), with Bell’s coming in the first game in Mets history. Canha was the first outfielder with three assists in a game since Joey Rickard on May 26, 2018, for the Orioles. Four is the record for a nine-inning game, most recently by Sam Langford on May 1, 1928, per the Elias Sports Bureau.

Elly time: On Sunday, Elly De La Cruz became the third-youngest Red with a leadoff homer since 1900, older than only Jay Bruce, twice in 2008. Then, on Monday, he hit a 113.7 mph, 456-foot home run in the third inning. He has three homers of at least 450 feet, tied for the most by a Reds player in a single season under Statcast (2015) with 2021 Tyler Naquin and 2019 Eugenio Suárez. De La Cruz has two homers with an exit velocity of 113 mph, also tied for the most by a Reds player in a single season with 2021 Joey Votto.

Soto homers: On Friday, Juan Soto hit a pair of homers at 447 feet and 463 feet. The latter was tied for the second-longest home run of his career. He also had a walk in the game, marking his eighth career game with multiple homers and a walk. That tied Mickey Mantle for the most such games before turning 25. Then, on Tuesday, he hit his 20th home run of the season -- for the fifth time in his career. Soto is the 12th player with five 20-homer seasons through his age-24 season, joining Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Giancarlo Stanton, Alex Rodriguez, Ken Griffey Jr., Tony Conigliaro, Orlando Cepeda, Frank Robinson, Mantle, Eddie Mathews and Mel Ott.

Multihomer efforts for Cleveland: On Tuesday, Bo Naylor hit two home runs for the Guardians. At 23 years and 154 days old, Naylor became the third-youngest Cleveland player with multiple homers in a game as a catcher, older than only Hank Ruszkowski (8/6/1947: 21 years, 269 days) and Ray Fosse (5/24/1970: 23 years, 50 days). Then, on Wednesday, José Ramírez hit two of his own -- for the 22nd time in his career. That tied Manny Ramírez for the fourth-most multihomer games in Cleveland history, behind only Albert Belle (26 multihomer games), Jim Thome (26) and Hal Trosky (25).

Youth movement: The Giants called up their No. 2 prospect, Marco Luciano, on Wednesday. In making his MLB debut, the 21-year-old joined San Francisco's No. 3 prospect Luis Matos, also a 21-year-old, in the lineup. It was the first time the Giants started two players under the age of 22 in the same game since Tom O’Malley and Jeff Ransom on May 9, 1982. The last time the Giants had multiple such games in a season was 1975, when Rob Dressler started two games with Johnnie LeMaster, Jack Clark started two separate games with LeMaster and Pete Falcone started four other games with LeMaster.

Franchise record: With his 10-strikeout performance on Wednesday, the Braves’ Spencer Strider now has four straight such outings. That broke a tie at three with John Smoltz (1996) for the longest streak of 10-strikeout games in Braves franchise history. Strider’s four-game streak is tied with Blake Snell, in June, for the longest in MLB this season.

Still unswept: Teams enter each series trying to win the series, but even just avoiding being swept is worth noting. To that end, the Orioles have now gone 72 straight series without being swept, entering the weekend. That’s tied with the 2003-05 Braves, 1997-99 Padres and 1921-23 Browns for fifth-most consecutive series of multiple games without being swept, per Elias. They trail only the 1942-44 Cardinals (125), 1903-05 Giants (106), 1922-24 Yankees (83) and 1904-06 A’s (74).

Yet another Ohtani feat: On Thursday, Shohei Ohtani threw his first career shutout in the first game of a doubleheader. He has 38 home runs so far in 2023, giving him by far the most homers hit in a season by a player to throw at least one shutout that year. Next on that list is Babe Ruth (11 homers in 1918) and Wes Ferrell (nine in 1931).
