MLB Reports

Al Alburquerque, 26, was yet to surrender a HR in regular season play (56.2 IP) before the 2013 year. He was one of the most dominant young relievers in the MLB – before last season’s collapse. Alburquerque had stretched that out to 76.2 IP in 2013 – before the floodgates opened with 5 HRs in his last 29 IP.
