Matt, I don't think strike outs was the reason that Hank Allen didn't have much of a MLB career. His 53Ks in 1967 was 17.2% of his plate appearances, and for his MLB entire career, Hank struck out in only 13.6% of his PAs (PAs are more meaningful than ABs, IMHO). FYI, supposed phenom Bryce Harper has struck out in 21.8% of his PAs thus far in his career, including 40% of his PAs in his first 8 games of 2015!
