Wrigley Reaches 200

With a single and a double last night for the Durham Bulls 1B/DH Henry Wrigley has reached 200 total bases on the season. Since his promotion from Montgomery on May 11th he's put up a .340/.375/.556 line for the Bulls. After a rough debut in May, Wrigley has hit .364/.402/.580 in June and an incredible .402/.432/.644 so far in July.

With 35 games left on the Durham schedule Wrigley is on pace to reach a fairly exclusive milestone: 250 total bases. Since the Rays began fielding minor league teams in 1996, only 24 players have reached 250 total bases in a season (some multiple times). If Wrigley makes the club, he will be only the fourth player to accomplish the feat in the past five years, joining Chris Richard (2008), Stephen Vogt (2011), and Russ Canzler (2011).

Here are the 24 players in Rays minor league history to reach 250 total bases in a season:
