TJ Friedl Shocks Baseball World by Tying MLB Record with Three Hit-by-Pitches in Single Game Against Mets!
Mets lefty Brandon Waddell then drilled Friedl on the left hand with a 91 mph sinker in the eighth.
“The lefties, it makes more sense because everything is away and I’m trying to stick my nose in there,” Friedl said. “The last one, that one stung!”
It was the 39th time in the modern era (since 1901) that a hitter got nailed three times in one game. It’s happened to 34 different players — the only previous Reds batter was Derek Dietrich at Milwaukee on June 21, 2019.
Two other major leaguers have been plunked three times in a game this season: Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams on May 31 at Arizona, and Colorado’s Tyler Freeman on June 17 at Washington.
