Marte equals the mark held by Manny Ramirez (2003-2004), Derek Jeter (1998-1999) and Hank Bauer (1956-1958). The NLCS MVP has 20 hits in this postseason alone, the most in Diamondbacks history.

The 30-year-old veteran has been one of the standouts for Arizona, helping them make a remarkable run to the World Series. Over the wild card, divisional and championship series, Marte batted .359/.382/.604 with 19 hits, two home runs and seven RBI.
