Division Series wrap-up
Nobody got hit by a pitch in yesterday's final division series round game, but overall 12 batters were hit in the first round of this year's playoffs. That's the most plunks in the divisional round since 2005, when that year's playoff teams combined for a record 20 division series HBPs. In terms of HBPs per game, it was the fourth most ever, with .923 HBPs per game. The Red Sox didn't move on to the next round, but they did defend their lead on the all time list of teams who have hit the most batters in the divisional round. They hit 3 Angels batters this year, bringing their DS total to 25 plunks. The Yankees are right behind them with 24 division series plunks thrown, but third place belongs to Cleveland with 13 plunks.
The Yankees weren't plunked in the Division Series, but they've still been hit more times than any other team in the Division round with 25 plunks.
