Markakis has 3 hits in 5 at-bats tonight, including his 4th home-run… with 3 rbi, he now has 27 for the season.
Nick is batting .370, with an OPS up over 1.000… 29 runs scored, 37 hits, 10 doubles, 16 walks…
He plays an outstanding RF, making another outstanding catch tonight.
He comes to play everday, and he is just turning 26 this November.
He is everything you could possibly want in a player, and he is basically setting the base of a potentially amazing career.
In his rookie year of 2006, Markakis finished with an OPS of .799 …
In 2007, that increased to .848…. in 2008 it increased again to .897….
Again, right now in 2009 he is up over 1.000….
I projected him to have a 315 batting avg, with 28 homers, 100 rbi, a .925 OPS, .425 on-base, and .500 slugging, with 45 doubles in 2009….. and right now he is on pace to demolish those expectations.
