Giving up HRs and not striking anyone out

Posted on October 26, 2024 by ryanmccrystal

Logan Allen gave up 22 home runs in his 20 starts this year, but only struck out 79 batters. It’s relatively rare for a starter to have fewer than four times as many strikeouts as homers allowed.

Over the last 20 seasons, here are the others to fall below that threshold with at least 20 starts.

2019 Adam Plutko
2016 Josh Tomlin
2011 Tomlin
2008 Jeremy Sowers
