There were two different, interesting tidbits about Kyle Higashioka’s career that would have seen him become semi-notorious if they kept going. However, he decided to just be a normal baseball player instead. For that, we’re all worse off.
Dating back to last season, Higashioka came into this year with zero career hits. He went 0-for-18 last year, and started 2018 0-for-4. At that point, he was one at-bat away from tying the position player record for most career at-bats without a hit. While that wouldn’t have been his ideal career, had he finished with zero major league hits, he probably would have had a more notable story than what he will end up with now.
