The player with the most hits in 10 games is Heinie Manush with 30 hits in 1933. After achieving this feat, he got a goose egg the next day, ending his 33-game hitting streak.

In 2024, Shohei Ohtani recorded 27 hits, placing him 9th all-time. Ohtani’s hot streak came in September during his race to reach 50 HR and 50 stolen bases.

Kenny Lofton’s 29 hits came at the start of the 1997 season—his first year as a Brave after being with the Indians for five seasons. He was traded with Alan Embree to the Atlanta Braves for Marquis Grissom and David Justice. Looks like Lofton was trying to prove something. “The trade will be in the back of my mind for a long time, but it’s baseball. It happens to nearly everybody. I’m [in Atlanta] to play every day. It’s all Braves from now on”, Lofton said.

Through his first seven games as a Cub, Isaac Paredes is 3-for-27 (.111). His OPS+ is 1. Yipes.

Is this one of the worst starts with the Cubs ever? Not really. Since 1901, there have been 96 players who had three or fewer hits in his first 7 games with the Cubs. (With a minimum of 21 plate appearances on this list, because we don’t want guys who pinch hit for their first 7 games to appear here.)

Some of the familiar names among this list of 96 players:

Damon Berryhill1 for 18Ryne Sandberg1 for 23Todd Hundley1 for 18Miguel Montero2 for 19Rey Ordóñez2 for 19Shawon Dunston2 for 24Jacque Jones2 for 22Joc Pederson2 for 21Jeimer Candelario2 for 23Jim Edmonds3 for 20Leon Durham3 for 22Moisés Alou3 for 22Matt Stairs3 for 22Isaac Paredes3 for 27The full list is available at Stathead.

Take a closer look, and you’ll see that Jeimer Candelario is on BOTH lists. How is this possible? These lists take into account the player’s first 7 games as a Cub. Candelario had two stints with the Cubs.

In 2016, he started 2 for 23 in his first seven games. Then he played for the Tigers and Nationals. He reunited with the Cubs in 2023, going 12 for 25.
