Baltimore Orioles: David Hess Continues His Historic Pace

I want Keegan Akin. You want Keegan Akin. We all want Keegan Akin. We aren’t getting Keegan Akin, yet. The Baltimore Orioles need David Hess to work his way through the 2019 season, but his struggles aren’t just troubling, they are historic.

At his current rate, David Hess is well on his way to breaking the major league record for home runs allowed per game. His is currently allowing 2.95 HR/9 IP. The record is held by former MLB All-Star Jose Lima (rest in peace) who gave up 2.2 HR/9 IP back in 2000 with the Houston Astros.
