After beating Tampa Bay in extra innings Sunday, the AL East-leading Orioles are 93-56 for a winning percentage of .624. Two years ago, they finished 52-110 (.321). Only one team has ever improved its winning percentage by .300 or more within two seasons, according to Sportradar.
That was the New York Giants, way back at the beginning of the modern era. They went from 48-88 in 1902 to 106-47 in 1904. Their improvement of .340 will remain the record for at least a little longer because it's mathematically impossible for the Orioles to surpass it this year. But Baltimore, which clinched a playoff berth Sunday, could still join the Giants with an improvement of over .300.
Boston Braves — from 38-115 in 1935 to 79-73 in 1937. The 1935 team was the last of Babe Ruth's career, and he hit .181 in 28 games. The franchise briefly changed its name to the Bees after that and was above .500 within a couple years. New York Yankees — from 69-85 in 1925 to 110-44 in 1927. That 1925 season was an aberration — Ruth played only 98 games — and New York won the pennant each of the next three years.It's a bit under the radar, but Freddie Freeman of the Los Angeles Dodgers has a chance to become the first player to hit 60 doubles in a season since 1936. He has 55 with a couple weeks remaining. Joe Medwick hit 64 and Charlie Gehringer had 60 in 1936. The record is 67 by Earl Webb in 1931.
