| 5/04/26 | Nearly half of Munetaka Murakami's hits have been homers. It takes a lot to sustain that. Munetaka Murakami is tied with Aaron Judge for the major league lead with 13 home runs. That accounts for nearly half of Murakami’s hits so far this season. The infielder for the White Sox has 14 singles and no doubles or triples. This type of all-or-nothing production would be quite rare if it continues for an entire season. So far, 48.1% of Murakami’s hits have been homers. The single-season record — among players who qualified for the batting title — is 46.8% by Barry Bonds. He did it during his famous 2001 season, when he slugged a record 73 home runs and had 156 hits. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/nearly-half-o... |
