Home runs allowed

Home runs allowed

In baseball statistics, home runs allowed (HRA) signifies the total number of home runs a pitcher allowed.

The record for the most home runs allowed by any pitcher belongs to Hall of Famer Robin Roberts who gave up 505. 418 of the home runs he allowed occurred while he played for a National League club (Philadelphia-408, Chicago-8, Houston-8). The other 87 home runs he allowed came while he was playing for the Baltimore Orioles. This means that the National League record for most home runs allowed belongs to Warren Spahn with 434. The American League record is 422 held by Frank Tanana
