Austin Martin HBP

[AZTwin]

He was hit by pitch twice tonight.  That’s 19 on the season.  How the hell is he HBP so much?

I assume he crowds the plate and he's facing pitchers who don't have the control of ML pitchers who are probably trying to pitch inside.

Or he's a dick.

Well we don't want to assume anything. Who knows? He might not crowd the plate.

He's the current day Craig Biggio!

I haven't seen the most recent ones, but the first two HBP with Witchita, they were in the back of the leg, and he just sort of turned so they hit him. It might be that a lot of other hitters move their legs or do a little dance to avoid it?
