The Yankees and Blue Jays slugged it out in Toronto on Thursday night (NYY-TOR GameTracker), and Jays rookie shortstop Bo Bichette once again brought the lumber. 

Bichette homered in the fifth, and then in the sixth he made some history with dad Dante looking on: 

Indeed, Bichette has now doubled in an MLB-record nine straight games. Perhaps more impressive is that Bichette's home run in the fifth gave him 12 extra-base hits in his first 11 games. That was a record, which Bichette obviously extended to 13 extra-base hits in his first 11 games. Bichette also set a record for the franchise's longest hitting streak to begin a career, with 11.

Previously, the record for most consecutive games with a double had belonged to Derrek Lee and Yadier Molina. Lee had doubled eight games in a row in 2007, then as a member of the Cubs. Molina, who remains the Cardinals backstop, tied the mark in 2016.

The longest such streak in Blue Jays history, for those wondering, belonged to Carlos Delgado. He doubled in seven straight games back in 2000. Three others had doubles streaks lasting at least six games, including Melky Cabrera, Lyle Overbay, and Ed Sprague.

Overall, the 21-year-old is now batting .417/.462/.854 through the first 52 plate appearances of his career. That's obviously unsustainable, but Bichette in some quarters is regarded as a top-10 overall prospect. So he has a tremendously high ceiling. Thus far, he has done nothing but demolish those already lofty expectations.
