sorry, it wasn't his eighth consecutive game. i was checking his game log and didn't notice one of those days was a doubleheader. still, 8 of his last 9.

In just 18 games he already has 1.2 WAR, or 8 percent of Ryan Howard’s career total (14.9) over 1,572 games.

Colin: The only thing with Hoskins that is really out of whack is his HR/FB, which currently stands at 40%. It’s not unreasonable to think he’ll be close to 20% given his power and the park he plays in. That’s still like 50 HR. Pretty good, I say!
Dave Cameron: Well, yeah, no one can really keep hitting 85% of their XBH as HRs. Every well struck ball he’s hit has left the yard, basically. That’s not going to last.

damn, Hoskins
― nomar, Thursday, 14 September 2017 00:43 (six years ago) link
up to 18 HR (and 26 walks!) in 34 games
― nomar, Friday, 15 September 2017 01:56 (six years ago) link
in 115 triple-a games this year he had 75 K and 64 BB
presumably the league will figure him out as it did judge, but he's for real
― mookieproof, Friday, 15 September 2017 02:02 (six years ago) link
Ryan Howard's total bWAR over the ten-year period following his MVP award: 6.3
Hoskins' this year (before today): 2.2
