Before being shut down for the season with a wrist injury, Edwin Encarnacion was enjoying a second season of consistency and power over his 142 games, finishing with a line of .272/.370/.534/.904 while hammering 36 balls out of the yard and driving in 104 runs. He was on pace to end his regular season just as he did last year.

Encarnacion’s shortened 2013 campaign still allowed him to put his name down in the record books, and he accomplished a feat that no other Blue Jay has. Edwin became the first player in Toronto’s club history to have more than 35 home runs, less than 65 strikeouts, and more walks (82BB) than strikeouts (62K) in a single season.

The last Major League player to finish a season in the same manner was Albert Pujols in 2011, and the last American League player to do so was Frank Thomas in 1994.
