This MLB veteran hits more batters than anyone, so why do they like him anyway?
Briefly

Charlie Morton's hit-by-pitch total of 184 is the highest among active pitchers and ranks him ninth on the all-time list, showing his unique impact.
Morton expresses remorse for hitting batters, often apologizing and checking on their well-being, which endears him to many opponents despite his high HBP count.
Many batters, including Pete Alonso and Mike Yastrzemski, acknowledge Morton's caring nature, highlighting how he checks in on them after an HBP, earning their respect.
Former player Casey Kotchman humorously reflected on being Morton's first hit-by-pitch recipient, expressing pride in being part of Morton's unusual legacy.
