For awhile now there’s been a 3 way tie for most career ketchups won at 10. (Devers, Story, and Duran)
Since Duran had a good series I thought I’d just post this because he may soon stand alone with the most. Here’s a little breakdown:
In his career, Duran has won KKSMVP against the Giants, Phillies, Reds, Astros, Guardians, Twins, The Athletics twice, and the Rays twice.
He drizzled once in 2023, 6 times in 2024, and 3 times last season. (He also won the All-star ketchup in 2024 but I’ve always kept that separate from the rest)
Of his 10 mvps 3 of them have come at home and 7 away. Dude just loves drizzling on the road.
Feels nice to Drizzle again, have a good night everyone
I’ve been meaning to go through all the multi time winners to see if any player has ever won KKSMVP against every team in a division. Surprisingly, it hasn’t happened and the closest anyone has got is 3/5 or 3/4 for Kiké
Story has Drizzled against 3/5 in the AL Central (needs royals and twins)
Abreu has Drizzled against 3/5 in NL Central
(Needs brewers and cubs)
Kiké Hernandez came closest getting almost completing AL East (only needed orioles)
Devers had 3/5 in the AL West (never got rangers and astros)
Lastly, a random side note: Verdugo won 5 KKSMVPS and 3 of them were against Cleveland. Guess he just loved playing them
At this point last season we had already drizzled 6 times. We’re currently at 4, so at least by ketchup standards we’re not too far off pace. Feels like it should be worse than that tbh.
Steve, I’ve been keeping track since the beginning and I have wilyer at 7 lifetime ketchups. The link to the doc is pinned here it’s got lots of fun stats and stuff, it’s easier to view on desktop I don’t know if you’ve seen it before just wanted to share.
Here’s a quick breakdown of all the ties since we’ve started drizzling:
Sep 26-29 2022 Vs Orioles: (Ep. 51 Name Redacted)
J.D. Martinez and Casas tied. Coley suggested tie goes to Franchy and that’s how Franchy Cordero got his only Ketchup
Aug 21st-24th 2025 @Yankees (Ep. 575 Section 10)
Bello and Nathaniel Lowe tied. The guys decided the “golden tie breaking vote” would go to will fleming so Bello won.
April 24th-26th 2026 @Orioles (Ep. 613 Section 10)
Rafaela, Monasterio, WC-40, and Early all tied and the POTY-Breaker had to step in and Named Early the official winner.
Side note: Early is now the first pitcher to ever drizzle twice. His first time being the Sep. 8th-10th series (Ep. 580) last season against the Athletics.
Hasn’t been much drizzling this season but I always keep the KKSMVP doc updated and I know it’s pinned at the the top of the page. Thanks to the mods I’m assuming for pinning that. Hope we can keep drizzling
