There has been a lot of talk about home runs in 2019. I wrote about this a while back when I realized that basically half the league was on pace to obliterate their home run records. At the time I wrote:
These numbers are absurd. If home runs continue at the current pace the Minnesota Twins will set a new single season record with 312 homers, 45 more than the Yankees mark in 2018. As for the Cubs? They are currently on pace for 253 home runs, 18 more than their team record of 235 set in 2004.
