The increase in HR could possibly be explained by pitching inthe MWL (bad HR league early in the season when its cold) and the FSL last year and moving to the SL this year BUT I don't know if those leagues broke down that way in terms of favoring pitchers and hitters last year. No matter what, he's a fly ball pitcher so he's more prone to HRs. Another reason he doesn't get tons of attention is that I think most of us realize his future is as a reliever (combined with his lack of Ks). Increase in home runs? Now i'm only a mechanical engineer, so i could be wrong, but i thought 1 over 38 innings is better than 3 over 67. This year he's allowing a home run ever 38 innings compared to last year when he was allowing a home run every 22.33 innings. Of course, i could be reading that backwards, idk
