 Hello and welcome to stats that exist, but do not matter episode number 21 We will be talking about the oh and to count zero balls two strikes pitchers are way ahead hitters. You're screwed There were 96 oh and two home runs hit in the 2020 season There were two thousand three hundred and four home runs hit in general That's zero point zero four percent of the home runs being hit on oh and two pitches Less than one percent of home runs hit came on the oh to count Only three hitters Did it three times? Keston here a DD Gregorius and MVP Jose Abreu Jose Abreu did it three times two of them came in the same game They came in back-to-back innings. They came in a game where he had already homered earlier off Kyle Hendricks the Cubs Inrigley in the sixth inning then he comes steps up in the eighth inning against Rowan wick who gets some oh and two Congrats Rowan, but he throws a hanging knuckle curve. Jose Abreu Smokes it into the empty crowd at a wriggly the very next inning the ninth inning Abreu comes up again. He's down oh and two again this time to Dwayne under a junior He throws a hanging change up. Abreu smokes that one to At bats in a row or he hit a home run oh and two the most rarest of counts to hit a home run on Unofficially the only one I checked but I'm gonna do a great educated guess and say it's the hardest one to hit a home run on so what does this tell us nothing just information that I find interesting and Useless doesn't matter at all on the flip end. I went and checked the pitcher who gave up the most oh and two home runs That's a bad feeling There was two that did it Trevor Williams and Derek Holland Derek Holland He gave up oh two home runs in the same inning In an inning where he gave up four home runs in that inning Which is a really bad inning. This is the first inning of the game. So just a bad start to the game I mean he was one strike away from getting it out twice Oh and two home run both times. So I think what this tells us is nothing
