HBPs of note - April 12, 2009
In yesterday's game between the Phillies and Rockies, Chan Ho Park plunked Chris Ianetta. That makes 131 career hit batsmen for Park, moving him ahead of Jesse Tannehill into a tie for 21st place with George Mullin. That's not that interesting, but among the 10 plunks in yesterdays HBP action that was probably the most significant.
David DeJesus got hit again, his 61st, moving him closer to the Royals franchise record. He's got a fair shot at the American League Central record too, though there are others that may beat him too it.
Joba Chamberlain hit two batters in a game for the first time in his career, bringing his total to 5. And Reed Johnson got his 93rd HBP. Reed Johnson has the longest active streak of consecutive seasons with double digit HBPs, with 6. This plunk could be the start of his 7th season with 10 or more HBPs. He's never had a season with less than 10 HBPs.
