New York Mets set unlikely MLB record as 106 batsmen have now been hit this season

The New York Mets have been in fine form this season, but have set a bizarre new record in the process as their batters can't stop being hit with the ball.

The Mets are flying, and currently lead the National League East with the play-offs not too far away. They last won the NL East division in 2015, but haven't won the world series since 1986 after they famously beat the Boston Red Sox in a thrilling seven-game series.

But even if they don't manage to accomplish anything this season it'll still be a memorable one, as they've broken a record that has stood since 1900. Their batsman have now been struck by the baseball a record 106 times, and there's still many games to go.
