the Royals are on pace for 128 HRs, a 35% increase from 95 last year.
overall, MLB is on pace for 4802 HR, a 15% increase from 4186 last year.
last year, the Royals were 30th in MLB in HRs. this year Royals are 27th.
128 HRs would have been good for 19th in MLB last year.
I don't worry so much about rank. A 35% increase is impressive
