HRs to RBIs

[swampdragon]

Allen Craig has 3 home runs and 37 RBIs - this ratio seems to be an anomaly.

Tommy Herr had 8 hrs and 110 rbis in a season

Are there other instances like this in recent years?

Freddie Freeman has hit two home runs in the last couple of days, but was similar before that. He's currently at 5 HR and 34 RBI despite missing two weeks (20% of the season thus far). I think it takes a good position in a good lineup, a good batting average, and good XBH. Craig has 13 2B and 2 3B. Both have the batting average and lineup position. Freeman only has 8 2B and 1 3B, so maybe my theory isn't that good, lol.

CB - good to see you thinking - It does seem weird to me (still not as weird that FF wears long sleeves in Atlanta in August)

Perhaps the reason is as simple as I own them both!

NAH - too easy

Maybe flukish hr/fb ratios. I bet they both have strong SLG, but the ball isn't leaving the park.

Paul Molitor was 9/113 in 1996.

Terry Pendleton was 1/59 in 1986.

Justin Morneau, 2013? On pace for 6 HR, 105 RBI.

Joey Votto on pace for 30 HR and 84 RBI, which is only 54 of the other guys in the lineup.
