Photo: Instagram/Masataka Yoshida Masataka Yoshida , the talented Japanese rookie, has achieved a remarkable milestone that no other player has reached thus far in the 2023 season, putting him in the esteemed company of baseball legend Ted Williams . In a recent game against the Chicago Cubs , Yoshida displayed his prowess at the plate, finishing with a 2-for-5 performance, marking his eighth consecutive game with multiple hits. This extraordinary accomplishment makes Yoshida the first left-handed batter for the Boston Red Sox to achieve this feat since Williams accomplished it in 1940, as confirmed by former team employee JP Long. No other player in the current season has managed to string together such an impressive streak of eight games with two or more hits. What's more, Yoshida's achievement is particularly notable as no other Japanese-born player in the history of Major League Baseball, including the illustrious Ichiro Suzuki , has accomplished this feat.
