Guyer got hit twice in Friday night's 5-2 Rays win, which moved him to nine hit-by-pitches for the season, making him the first player since at least 1913 to coax that many HBP within his first 17 games played in a season. He is on pace for 54 hit-by-pitches in 348 plate appearances, which would break the Major League record held by Hughie Jennings (51) of the 1896 Baltimore Orioles.
Fans would almost swear that the Rays outfielder has a target on his body based on how often he gets hit by the baseball. Some opposing pitchers believe he hangs over the plate.
