Interesting Stat - Non-K AB Value:
Since I invested fairly heavily (at least for me) in Joey Gallo, I worry how long it will take him, if he ever does, to improve his strike-zone knowledge and lower his strikeout rate.
At one time, I heard of a statistic which reflected a hitter's average when he puts the ball in play. To that end, and designating such an average as IPAVG for in-play-average, a comparison of MLB's top three 'strikeout artists': Joey Gallo, Tex 162 ABs - 32 Hits - .198 Avg. - 69 Ks - IPAVG - .344 Chris Davis, Bal 169 ABs - 38 Hits - .225 Avg. - 75 Ks - IPAVG - .404 Miguel Sano, Min 157 ABs - 46 Hits - .293 Avg. - 71 Ks - IPAVG - .535 Sano's IPAVG appears to make his Ks, or rather, all his non-K ABs, worth 13.1% more than Davis's and 19.1% more than Gallo's. I'm not going any further at this time, but I have to wonder who has the highest IPAVG for a season and for a career all-time. Have at it nerds...if I don't get to it first.
