If you know anything about baseball, or have been watching baseball games recently, you probably have heard of Daniel Murphy. Not because he’s a household name like Jose Bautista or Clayton Kershaw, but because he’s in the middle of an absurd power streak in the 2015 playoffs.

Through six postseason games, Murphy has launched six home runs. Six. Absolutely, incredibly, ridiculously, absurd.

If you’re not one for comprehending crazy streaks like Murphy’s, I’ll put it in context for you. If Murphy kept at it and hit a homerun every game he played, in the regular season, he’d end up with 162. The most any player has hit in a year...73. Want to know who did that? The current record holder for most home runs of all time: Barry Bonds.

So yah, Murphy’s been on fire as of late.

To put it in perspective in another way, there are only 28 players to hit six homeruns in six days. Of course these all occurred during the regular season, but the point stands; it’s an impressive feat. Some names of this list you might recognize: Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., Willie Mays, and Lou Gehrig. It also holds names you won’t recognize: Graig Nettles, George Kelly, Dale Long. So while Murphy is sitting in some pretty great company from the names listed above, he may also be forgotten with the passage of time like Nettles, Kelly, and Long.

Before Murphy’s postseason rampage, he was forever known as a durable, adequate, but nothing spectacular type of second baseman. He’s consistently hit for an average around the mid .280s with around 40 doubles a year. His homeruns? Pretty dismal, actually. In six full years in the bigs, he has never cracked more than fifteen. Shocking? Most definitely!

Of course we know what has happened. Anyone can look him up and peruse his career and his postseason heroics. But what’s really interesting is to see how he’ll do in the World Series. Of course this is going to be a lot of speculation so take everything from here on out with a grain of salt.

The Mets have already clinched a World Series berth. They have a few more days until they play Game 1. That’s a long time, especially in baseball land. Hitting streaks are usually about a week long, sometimes more. But Murphy has been out of this world for already a week now. Is he going to be able to single handedly win the World Series for the Mets like he did in the Division and Championship series?

No, there’s not a chance.

This isn’t to say the Mets won’t win the World Series. The young arms that the Mets have are tremendous. Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey have all shown they can pitch, and pitch well on a big stage. Those three have the potential to carry the Mets all the way to victory. But Murphy will play a much less important role.

To expect Murphy to keep hitting home runs at his torrid pace is absolutely ridiculous. For someone to have never hit more than fifteen in 162 games, six is already half a season’s worth. He may continue to be a hot hitter (hitting for average, getting on base at a good clip), but I wouldn’t expect him to hit more than one home run against the Kansas City Royals in the World Series. Instead, look to the Mets young arms for leadership and potential. If their staff puts up plenty of strikeouts, as they usually do, the Mets will have a decent enough chance anyway. Then when looking at how productive Yoenis Cespedes has been during the postseason along with a breakout game from a sleepy Lucas Duda, the Mets definitely look like they could just about steam roll any team now.

So Mets fans, keep rooting for Murphy, but don’t expect him to keep playing like Babe Ruth. Maybe look to the players who really deserve the recognition after their impressive regular season campaigns.
