Tatis 4 plunks away from Mets season record
HBPs of note: August 21, 2009
Fernando Tatis got his 9th plunk of the season yesterday for the Mets, bringing his season total to 9. The Mets singles season record is just 13 plunks, but Tatis needs to pick up the pace a little bit to get their. He's on pace for 12 this season. Ron Hunt and John Olerud have both been hit 13 times in a season for the Mets, and that total is the lamest single season plunk record of any team in the league. That was also the 59th plunk of Tatis's career, which ties him with Sammy Sosa for 11th place among Dominican born players.
Casey Blake got the has 60th career HBP, Sergio Mitre threw his 25th and Cole Hamels threw his 9th and 10th.
Mike Pelfrey got hit by a pitch and hit a batter in the same game, for the first time in his career. He's the third pitcher to do that this season, although Kyle Lohse managed to do it twice. Dwight Gooden (1990) and Pedro Astacio (1998) are the only other players in the Jamie Moyer era (since 1986) who have hit a batter and been hit themselves in two different games in the same season.
