Kiké Hernández might be the funniest postseason player in baseball history because apparently October turns this man into Barry Bonds. During the regular season, Kiké has been a career .235 hitter with a .706 OPS and 134 home runs — perfectly respectable numbers for a versatile utility player — but once the playoffs start, he suddenly becomes one of the most dangerous hitters alive. His latest bomb gave him 17 career postseason home runs, putting him in the exact same group as David Ortiz, Aaron Judge and Jim Thome. Just look at the regular-season résumés in that graphic: Ortiz hit 541 homers, Thome hit 612, Judge has an absurd 1.020 career OPS… and then there’s Kiké with a 91 OPS+ casually sitting beside them. Somehow, every October, the calendar flips and Kiké forgets he’s Kiké Hernández and starts taking at-bats like 2004 Barry Bonds. #mlb #postseason #kikehernandez #ladodgers #homer
