St. Louis Cardinals legend Albert Pujols is 42 years old and crushing baseballs like he is 25. Over the past 10 games he has played, Pujols has a 1.300 slugging percentage, which is phenomenal for someone about to retire. This is actually his highest slugging percentage in his career over a 10-game span. Jeremy Frank@MLBRandomStatsAlbert Pujols is slugging 1.300 over his last 10 games. It’s his highest SLG in a 10 game span in his entire career.6891624Albert Pujols is slugging 1.300 over his last 10 games. It’s his highest SLG in a 10 game span in his entire career. In those past 10 games, Pujols has hit seven home runs and batted an outstanding .548 with an OPS of almost 2.000. Numbers like this are unheard of, even in a small sample size like this. It is all the more impressive that Pujols is the oldest player in baseball.

Pujols is just seven home runs away from hitting 700 in his career. Only three players have achieved this feat, the last one being Barry Bonds in 2004. Pujols is the only current player in the MLB to approach this number, so everyone is rooting for him.

Andrew Kwon@Andrewkw@MLBRandomStats 700 or not I think this is better even if it's just vs LHP. Hoping for 700. Happy to see vintage Pujols regardless.3@MLBRandomStats 700 or not I think this is better even if it's just vs LHP. Hoping for 700. Happy to see vintage Pujols regardless. Many want Pujols to stick around for another year if he does not reach 700 home runs this season. However, Pujols has made it clear that he will be retiring following this season no matter the outcome. Pujols has spent 22 seasons in the MLB, which is more than most players ever will. Brad@mottled_paws@MLBRandomStats Gonna need it to get to 700 unless he plans on coming back1@MLBRandomStats Gonna need it to get to 700 unless he plans on coming back Mark Bauer@markbauer17@BryanBauer1745 @MLBRandomStats @ann_bauer9598 Absolutely amazing what we’re witnessing right now is peak Albert!2@BryanBauer1745 @MLBRandomStats @ann_bauer9598 Absolutely amazing what we’re witnessing right now is peak Albert! Even in his age 42 season, Albert Pujols is still proving that he can be elite. Through 72 games played this season, Pujols is batting .277 and slugging .530 with an .880 OPS. He has 14 home runs in total this year. No one expected him to do so well on the way out. The MLB is not going to be the same without Pujols. Let's take a look into the illustrious career of Albert Pujols. Albert Pujols is a generational talent and he will be missed St Louis Cardinals v Los Angeles Dodgers Since entering the league in 2001, Albert Pujols has established himself as one of the best players in the game.

Hopefully, we will get to see him hit No. 700 before he goes. Poll : 0 votes Quick Links More from Sportskeeda Edited by Jodi Whisenhunt × Feedback Thank You!
