"ESPN Stats & Info: Gary Sánchez has 92 HR in games in which he appeared as a catcher, tying Hall of Famer Mike Piazza for most such HR in MLB history by a player in his first 400 career games, at any position."
Huh?
"Such HR" is in games you appear as a catcher ... at any position?
"Sánchez, through 1 HR Tuesday, has 110 total HR in 391 career games."
As a catcher?
I read it multiple times and I can't figure out what Gary Sanchez tied Mike Piazza for.
My best guess is this:
First 400 games of a career (who cares?).
You divvy up the games by position played, and both Sanchez and Piazza hit 92 HRs in their first 400 career games in which they played catcher, which is also the most anyone every hit in their first 400 career games at any position.
Which I'm pretty sure isn't accurate (Mark McGwire?), but maybe it is.
Bottom line: Gary Sanchez hits a lot of HRs ... and so did Mike Piazza.
You already knew that, didn't you?
