John asked: Who have hit 20 or more home runs in a season while batting under.200?


Rick answered: John, thank you for your question.

My research located 6 MLB players who have hit 20 or more HR's while batting under .200.

1. Mark Reynolds 2010 32 HR .199

2. Mark McGwire 2001 29 HR .187

3. Carlos Pena 2010 27 HR .199

4. Rob Deer 1991 25 HR .179

5. Ruben Rivera 1999 23 HR .195

6. Willie Kirkland 1962 21 HR .200


Technically, Willie Kirkland did not hit below .200.

Yours in baseball,

Rick

For 1962, I found 419 AB, 84 hits. His batting average was .2004... rounding DOWN to .200 , so he was actually slightly above exactly .200 .

They may have gotten lucky to have hit 20 or more home runs while batting 200 or under but that's still no good they need to be,back in the minors obviously they are not major league material.brazil
