- Albert Pujols’ average home run trot over the years it has been tracked by Statcast is ~26 seconds. Extrapolated over his full career, Pujols has spent just over 5 HOURS of his life just running the bases after hitting a home run!
- This could be my favorite stat, ever... Joey Votto pop ups by year: 2010 - 0 2011 - 1 2012 - 1 2013 - 1 2014 - 1 2015 - 2 2016 - 0 2017 - 1 2018 - 0 Since 2010, Votto has popped it up 7 times. With the same amount of PA, the MLB average player would have popped it up 127 times.
- I just randomly thought of this absolutely iconic thread and I hope that there’s at least a few people seeing this for the first time
- This is like the worst possible situation to be in if you are a pitcher
- Kind of crazy: Babe Ruth hit more homers in Jimmy Carter's lifetime than any currently active player (Stanton leads with 429)RIP Jimmy Carter 🙏 Babe Ruth hit 430 homers after Jimmy was born.
- Most HR under each president Biden: Judge 196 Trump: Trout 134 Obama: Pujols 272 W Bush: A-Rod 364 Clinton: Griffey 351 HW Bush: McGriff 137 Reagan: Schmidt 259 Carter: Schmidt 152 Ford: Schmidt 87 Nixon: Aaron 218 Johnson: Mays 181 Kennedy: Killebrew 139 Eisenhower: Mathews 313
- Highest slugging percentage with RISP, last 50 years: .621 Shohei Ohtani .616 Mike Trout .615 Mark McGwire Lowest SLG percentage allowed with RISP, last 50 years: .201 Shohei Ohtani .211 Dellin Betances .226 Aroldis Chapman (min. 400 PA / 200 BF)
- Mike Trout 3-5, HR, SB, 3 RBI Shohei Ohtani 3-5, HR, 1 RBI FINAL Angels 4, Orioles 5
- Lost in the Ohtani insanity: Mike Trout swung at a 3-0 pitch that was out of the strike zone for the first time in nearly five years (May 7, 2016).
- Time zones are pretty crazy... Australia is in 2020 The US is in 2019 and people who only look at batting average, RBI, and pitcher wins are in 1985
- My Aaron Judge takes 1. 73 is the real home run record—Bonds is the HR king 2. Having the AL home run record is still a historic feat and a big deal 3. Even though 73 is the HR record, having the most HR among players w/ no serious steroid allegations is still meaningful to me
- CAREER BATTING Shohei Ohtani: .265/.354/.538, 140 OPS+ Giancarlo Stanton: .265/.355/.538, 141 OPS+ ———————————— CAREER PITCHING Shohei Ohtani: 3.10 ERA, 11.4 K/9, 22.7% K-BB% Max Scherzer: 3.11 ERA. 10.7 K/9, 23.0% K-BB% This is not normal!!
