Kerry Wood plunks 90th
HBPs of Note: July 23, 2009
Kerry Wood threw the 90th HBP of his career yesterday, plunking Alex Rios. But, that was only the 6th time Kerry Wood his hit a batter on a Thursday. Among active pitchers with at least 90 career HBPs, only Vicente Padilla has a day of the week with less plunks than Wood's Thursday total. Padilla has hit 98 batters, but only 5 on Mondays.
Marc Rzepczynski hit a batter for the first time in his career, becoming the first pitcher whose name starts with the "Rz" letter combination to hit a batter.
Shin-Soo Choo got hit for the 15th time in his career, which leaves him 1 plunk behind Hee Seop Choi for the all time HBP record for batters born in Korea.
