OT - Bellinger "record"

[z28jd]

I don't know the answer, but I found that Jimmie Foxx had 109 in his first 32 games in 1932 and Chuck Klein had 107 in his first 32 games in 1930

As of games thru Sunday, Bellinger has 111 total bases through 30 games (14 HR, 1 triple, 6 doubles, 23 singles, 17 walks). And he didn't play at all in one of those games. 3.7 bases per game average.

Walks do not count toward total bases, only hits, so Bellinger is at 94.

Hank Aaron had 107 TB thru 30 games in 1959, plus 11 walks.

Never knew that walks didn't figure in total bases. I know total bases is used in calculating slugging %, but I was always told that a walk was as good as a hit.
