Within Major League Baseball, records are set and broken. However, some accomplishments bear witness to an athlete’s extraordinary skill and dependability. There is something that no other player in MLB history can say about Ketel Marte, the great player for the Arizona Diamondbacks.

In Game 2 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers, he singled with two outs and two runs to extend his postseason hitting streak to an MLB record eighteen games. Marte’s incredible 18-game hitting streak isn’t the result of pure chance or a flash of lightning-fast skill.

He is committed to changing things for his team each time he is on the pitch. The pressure to perform well doesn’t seem to phase him as he approaches a historic milestone.
