Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Pitchers who allow a lot of home runs are not necessarily bad pitchers. They just have a different kind of “skill”. Jamie Moyer, for example, allowed 522 home runs in his career, but he also won 269 games and had a 4.25 ERA. It’s all about perspective.
Getting taken yard is just part of the game. Even the best pitchers get hit hard sometimes. It’s how they respond that matters.
Some pitchers are just more “generous” than others. They like to give the opposing team a little extra help.
Allowing home runs is not the end of the world. It’s just a minor setback.
These pitchers are the real MVPs (Most Vulnerable Pitchers).
