Cole Hamels registered more HBPs vs. the Nationals (4) than he has any other team (and why do we have the feeling that number may increase before the season is over?). The Mets, Astros and Marlins are next with three each.
He hasn't hit any batter more than once in the regular season, but his two postseason HBP victims (Alex Rodriguez and Lance Berkman) had been hit by him in the regular season also.
Below are Hamels' 29 career HBPs, provided by baseball-reference.com. Click here if you'd like to see their regular season list with more details.
