  • Fluff Piece: Coghlan 1000th Marlin Plunked; Way Too Much Info Follows

    This is so in depth it's hilarious and awesome at the same time.

    Marlins rookie Chris Coghlan got plunked in the 7th inning today, marking the first time in his career he's been hit by a major league pitch. But, while it was one first plunk for a rookie, it was one giant milestone for the Marlins franchise. Plunk Number 1000 in team history. Coghlan joins the likes of Craig Biggio and Ty Cobb on the list of players who have collected the 1000th plunk for a franchise.

    Wes Helms also got plunked for the Marlins, which makes this post a little less round-number-centric. But, here are a few (dozen) facts about the first 1001 plunks in Marlins franchise history.

    Chris Coghlan was the 120th different batter plunked in a Marlins uniform in their first 1001 plunks, but he'll need to get hit once more to be the 79th batter plunked twice for Marlins. Alex Gonzalez is the franchise record holder with 51 HBPs, with Gary Sheffield and Josh Willingham tied behind him with 43 plunks each. Mike Lowell got hit 39 times while he was a Marlin and Dan Uggla is the active leader with 36. Plunked Marlins include batters from 43 US states and territories and 13 foreign countries on five continents.

    Coghlan may be the newest member of the Plunked Marlins club, but he's not the youngest. He was born in 1985, but Cameron Maybin was born in 1987, and got plunked for the Marlins on April 25th of this season. The oldest player among plunked Marlins is Charlie Hough. He was born in 1948, and was 45 years and 8 months old when he got his one and only plunk with the team, which means he's not just the oldest member of the club, he has the record for oldest age at the time of the plunking. The Marlins record for youngest age at the time of a plunk belongs to Miguel Cabrera, who was 20 years and 4 months old the first time he got plunked (September 1, 2003).

    Of the 1001 base runners the Marlins have had who reached base by getting hit by pitches, 262 have come around to score runs. They've been hit a total of 25 times with the bases loaded.

    On the other end of those 1001 pitches, were 538 different pitchers from 27 teams - they've never been plunked by the Angels or Mariners though. The Marlins have been plunked the most by their division rival Phillies, Nationals and Mets, but the Cubs and Astros have hit them more than the Braves, despite not being in a different division (although the Cubs were in the NL east in 1993).

    Here are the team by team totals for plunking the Marlins:
    Phillies - 112
    Nats/Expos - 103
    Mets - 91
    Cubs - 70
    Astros - 63
    Braves - 62
    Rockies - 55
    Rays - 54
    Cardinals - 53 Pirates - 49
    Dodgers - 45
    Reds - 44
    Padres - 41
    Giants - 41
    Brewers - 30
    Diamondbacks - 28
    Red Sox - 16
    Blue Jays - 10 Orioles - 8
    A's - 5
    Yankees - 5
    Royals - 5
    Indians - 4
    Twins - 2
    Tigers - 2
    Rangers - 2
    White Sox - 1


    Even though the Braves are relatively low on the list of plunking the Marlins, long-time Braves pitcher Greg Maddux holds the carer record for hitting Marlins with 11. Tony Armas Jr. is second on the list with 8, which is particularly impressive because he's only hit 51 total batters in his career. Pitchers named Mike have hit 46 Marlins, while pitchers named John have hit 30, and Kevins have hit 27 Marlins.

    Here's the complete list of pitchers who have plunked a Marlin:
    Greg Maddux (11), Tony Armas (8), Jamie Moyer (7), Mike Pelfrey (7), Mark Leiter (7), Mel Rojas (7), Andy Ashby (7), Darryl Kile (7), Bret Saberhagen (6), Byung-Hyun Kim (6), Jim Bullinger (6), Pedro Astacio (6), Kevin Millwood (6), Jon Lieber (6), Turk Wendell (6), Ryan Rupe (6), Chan Ho Park (6), Steve Trachsel (6), Matt Clement (6), Vicente Padilla (6), Jason Marquis (6), Josh Fogg (6), Brandon Duckworth (6), Carlos Zambrano (6), Roy Oswalt (5), Ryan Madson (5), Oliver Perez (5), Randy Wolf (5), Dave Weathers (5), Shane Reynolds (5), Pedro Martinez (5), Tom Glavine (5), Rheal Cormier (5), Mike Johnson (5), Jeremy Powell (5), Armando Reynoso (5), Bobby Jones (4), Joe Kennedy (4), Kevin Appier (4), Mike Mimbs (4), Marc Wilkins (4), Ricky Bottalico (4), Paul Wagner (4), Pete Schourek (4), Livan Hernandez (4), Matt Morris (4), Esteban Loaiza (4), Tim Scott (4), Jamey Wright (4), Kerry Wood (4), Glendon Rusch (4), Tomokazu Ohka (4), Aaron Heilman (4), Jay Bergmann (4), James Shields (3), Kevin Correia (3), Brad Thompson (3), David Bush (3), Sean Marshall (3), Mike Bacsik (3), Jake Peavy (3), Brandon Webb (3), Gavin Floyd (3), Matt Belisle (3), Brett Myers (3), Tim Hudson (3), Kip Wells (3), Jason Schmidt (3), Hideo Nomo (3), Trever Miller (3), Jeff Suppan (3), Billy Wagner (3), Ryan Dempster (3), Tim Worrell (3), Toby Borland (3), Tom Candiotti (3), Terry Adams (3), Pete Harnisch (3), Todd Jones (3), Jason Isringhausen (3), Miguel Batista (3), Travis Hughes (3), Orel Hershiser (3), Rocky Biddle (3), Kevin Tapani (3), Marvin Freeman (3), Mike Remlinger (3), John Thomson (3), Jose Mesa (3), John Burkett (3), John Franco (3), John Halama (3), Jerry Dipoto (3), Jae Weong Seo (3), Dustin Hermanson (3), Esteban Yan (3), Frank Castillo (3), Garrett Stephenson (3), C.J.
