Baseball’s Unluckiest Players Are Breaking Our Hearts
Okay, baseball fans, let’s talk about the pain of being the unluckiest player out there. 😢 Reid Detmers was straight-up cursed in 2024—18 homers allowed in 87.1 innings, with 17.1% of fly balls going yard (league average? 11.6%). He was doing everything right, but the ball just kept leaving. Then there’s Dylan Crews in 2025, Nationals rookie hitting a sad .196, even though Statcast says he’s the 13th-unluckiest hitter, with line drives dying at .348 (league’s at .632). Adley Rutschman? His .292 xBA should’ve been fire, but he’s stuck at .222, robbed by crazy catches. These guys are crushing the ball, but it’s like the baseball gods are laughing. Imagine pouring your heart into every swing or pitch, only for a diving fielder or a fluke homer to steal it. That’s the heartbreak of baseball’s unluckiest.
