It is important to keep context in mind. Quality of pitching in the AFL is usually way lower than quality of hitting. Pitchers are gassed this time of year. And the ball flies in those parks.

Josue Briceño finishes the AFL with 10 HR and the first-ever triple-crown winner. You would have to go back to 2011 to find the last double-digit home run performance. Briceño's 1.376 OPS was the league's highest since 2008.
