He's Hackin'

[clydepepper]

This year, everyone's leading AL MVP candidate saw his Batting Average drop 36 points and his strikeouts rise to an AL-leading 184.

Trout hit 36 homers so he struck out 5.11 times per homer.


Meanwhile in the wind city of Chicago, hold onto your hats:

Already in the Majors, two prospects have given fans plenty:

Mike Olt - 225 ABs - 100 Ks - 12 homers or 8.3 Ks per homer.
Javier Baez - 213 ABs - 95 Ks - 9 homers or 10.6 Ks per homer.


...an down on the farm, Kris Bryant logged these numbers:

492 ABs - 162 Ks - 43 homers or 3.77 Ks per homer.

compared to Baez in the minors last year:

517 ABs - 147 Ks - 37 homers or 3.97 Ks per homer.

and compared to Joey Gallo (Texas prospect) this year:

439 ABs - 179 Ks - 42 homers or 4.26 Ks per homer.

What does this all mean? Well, in spite of the name, I find it amusing that BBR lists one Hack Miller as the most similar batter to Mike Trout.

I also predict that 'pinball' Baseball is here to stay for all who suffer any level of ADD.

Enjoy the BREEZES while waiting for the BOMBS.

Instead of the station-to-station' offensive mentality,
it could become PLAY STATION to PLAY STATION.
