White Sox: The team and the player with too many strikeouts

When it comes to hitting, the White Sox have more K’s than any other team in the MLB. Not just the AL, but the NL, too.

With stats recorded through Friday night, the Sox had 1570 strikeouts on the season. Compare that to the team in second place, the San Diego Padres, who had 1506 K’s. To make matters worse, the White Sox had almost 400 more strikeouts than the Houston Astros – 1172.

The way that baseball is played today, strikeouts are usually not too big of a problem. Power hitters like Giancarlo Stanton, Joey Votto, and Joey Gallo have more strikeouts than the majority of players in the MLB.
