Dunn Ain't Done Yet!

1st in
HRs
Walks
and Ks

Why not just start every count at 3-2

he has 35 homeruns in 88 hits - think about that

Has there been anyone else with these combinations?

Rob Deer? Dave Kingman?

Amazingly, he's havng a remarkably similar year to last season -- except for the fact his HR/FB rate has tripled.

Mark McGwire in 1995 is the only other player to have at least 35 HRs in less than 90 hits.

No on Deer - he didnt have the walks - and not as many HRS
No on Kingman - he had even less walks

Its the walks and Ks that is especially weird

I wonder how high his pitches per PA is? - gotta be here somewhere?

Kinda weird to see 2, 3 & 4 together like that. Dunn, Grandy and Mauer are totally different types of hitters...
