Records and achievements

Alex Rodriguez concluded his 22-season career with 3,115 hits, a , 696 home runs (fourth all-time), 2,086 runs batted in, and 2,021 runs scored. These totals reflect his prowess as a power hitter and consistent offensive producer across stints with the Seattle Mariners, , and New York Yankees. His 696 home runs placed him behind only , , and on the all-time list at retirement. Rodriguez achieved several milestones, including becoming the youngest player to reach 500 home runs on August 4, 2007, at age 32 years and eight days, surpassing Jimmie Foxx's long-standing mark. He joined the 600 home run club on August 4, 2010, as the seventh player and youngest at the time to do so, hitting a two-run homer off Toronto's Shaun Marcum. In 2015, he notched his 3,000th hit—a home run off Detroit's Justin Verlander on June 18—becoming the 29th player to reach the plateau and only the third to do so with a homer, following Derek Jeter and Wade Boggs. Rodriguez also holds the MLB record for career grand slams with 25, all in the American League, eclipsing Lou Gehrig's 23 in 2013. As a shortstop, he amassed 345 home runs, second only to Cal Ripken Jr.'s 353 among players primarily at the position. In advanced metrics, Rodriguez ranks 16th all-time in Wins Above Replacement with 117.4, underscoring his elite defensive contributions at shortstop early in his career and sustained offensive impact despite later transitions to third base and designated hitter. His statistical legacy as a power hitter endures, even amid performance-enhancing drug controversies that tainted portions of his achievements. In a 2025 HBO docuseries, Alex vs. A-Rod, Rodriguez reflected on these issues, acknowledging the unlikelihood of Hall of Fame induction due to the scandals.
