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:
