What an absolutely painful, dumbfuck stat to cite without any context at all.
Ty France alone has been hit 33 times this season, which is 13 more than the next person on the list, Andres Gimenez of the Guardians.
Editing to add: Yordan leads the Astros in HPB at 13. FUCKING THIRTEEN.
The Mariners lead all of baseball with 109 HPB, while the Astros are 12th at 72.
It almost would stand to reason the Mariners crowd the plate and tend to get hit a lot more than other teams instead of posting some solo stat with zero information around it that makes it look like Astros pitchers are hitting Mariners on purpose.
Fucking Christ you’re exhausting.
