If you want to know if a hitter is consistently productive, check out rankings from past seasons or starting from any given campaign until the present time.
When it comes to consistency, Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez has few rivals around the league.
He has been among the league’s most productive, powerful, and consistent performers for years.
In fact, we can go all the way back to 2017 and he was already one of the most prolific power hitters in the game back then.
Power is not just home runs, though: doubles and triples are also considered as such.
Ramirez is and has always been an extra-base machine, and no one has more of those than him since 2017.
“Since 2017, Jose Ramirez has hit 570 extra-base hits, the most by any player in MLB,” Cleveland Guardians On SI posted on X.

That’s nine seasons of top-notch power production.
Ramirez has quick wrists and hips and phenomenal control of the barrel, allowing him to hit many home runs.
He also has the legs and the hustle to turn singles into doubles with frequency, as well as the talent to drive the ball into the gaps for doubles and triples.
In other words, his game translates perfectly to getting extra-base hits.
The Guardians have been lucky to have him producing at such a high level for so long.
570 extra-base hits is a lot: the vast majority of players retire without even sniffing that total, and J-Ram has done it in nine campaigns.
He is a special hitter and a gifted player who could very well reunite the credentials to be elected to the Hall of Fame one day.
