Source? Also that means that the entirety of MLB had only 2 "home run hitters" last year.

The person who lost playing time was Kevin Newman. Oh no, 29-year-old career 79 OPS+ Kevin Newman was sent to the bench because Votto came back. The horror.

The first 14 games Votto played the Reds were 11-3. Until the Cubs blowouts leading to this team collapse, the Reds were 20-13 in games Votto played (.606 winning %).

It's shocking how many objectively false things you can state in a single post.

Yep, here's the BA for each of the HR leaders this year:
Ohtani - 40 HRs, .306 BA
Olson - 40 HRs, .267 BA
Alonso - 35 HRs, .227 BA
Robert Jr - 31 HRs, .271 BA
Betts - 31 HRs, .283 BA
Schwarber - 30 HRs, .182 BA
Garcia - 29 HRs, .262 BA
Muncy - 28 HRs, .195 BA
Soler - 28 HRs, .246 BA

You can hit homers without having a high BA.
