In '37 Joe DiMaggio led the League with 46 HRs (his only season getting to 40) and only 37 strikeouts.

Yes! Ted Kluszewski did in 3 years in a row from '53-'55 and is the only player to perform the feat 3 times.

Hornsby is an excellent guess. He had 42 HRs and 50 strikeouts in '22 and 39 HRs and 39 strikeouts in '25.

Pujols is also a great guess. E.g. he had 46 HRs and 52 strikeouts in 2004.

2 more players on the list.
