Heading into Friday night's game, Bichette was leading all of baseball with 178 hits, just 13 shy of his career high of 191, which he achieved in 2021. It's two ahead of fellow shortstop Trea Turner who is having another great season with the Philadelphia Phillies. Turner's career high for hits is 195, which he also accomplished in 2021 when he started the year with the Nationals before being traded to the Dodgers.

Not only has their resurgence onto the scene reignited their own careers, but it's also been a driving force behind the Jays' push to October.
