2008 inning leaders
Texas second baseman Ian Kinsler hasn't been hit by very many pitches compared to the league leaders, with only 6 this year, but 3 of those plunks were recorded in the third inning. That's enough to tie him for the league lead in 3rd inning plunks with Dave Dellucci. Jeff Salazar of the Diamondbacks has only been hit by 2 pitches this season, but since they were both in the 9th inning, that ties him for the league lead with a bunch of other guys who have been hit by a lot more pitches than that. Also Khalil Greene of the Padres has only been hit 5 times this season, but he's the only player whose been hit twice in extra innings this year, and the only active player who's been plunked in the 22nd inning of a game.

| extra innings | 2 | Khalil Greene (SD) |
On the pitching side of things, there's a lot more structure around which innings certain pitchers work in, for some reason. So it's not surprising that Kerry Wood has hit 7 batters, exclusively in the 9th inning. But it is kind of weird that Paul Byrd has thrown 5 plunks in the 2nd inning and only 1 in an inning that wasn't the 2nd.
