HBPs of note - April 15, 2009
Andruw Jones of the Texas Rangers got hit by a pitch in the 8th inning yesterday, by Matt Albers of the Baltimore Orioles. That was the 85th of Jones' career, but it was also the 1000th HBP recorded by Major League players born in 1977. Batters born in 1977 have been plunked the relatively infrequently compared to players born in other years in the 70s. Only batters born in 1970 (987) and 1979 (729) have fewer plunks among years in that decade. Players born in 1974 have been hit the most, with 1909 plunks so far, and the '70s have produced the most total plunk victims so far, with 13,400.
6 batters were hit by pitches yesterday, all in the 6th inning or later.
