I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Franmil Reyes is striking out a lot.
The worst strikeout percentage in MLB among qualified hitters is 34.8%. Because of his stint on the injured list earlier this season, Reyes doesn’t have the requisite number of at-bats to be a qualified hitter yet. If he did, his 41.4% strikeout percentage would rank as the worst in MLB.
It’s the worst strikeout percentage of his big league career, up from 32% a season ago.
In this day and age though, strikeouts aren’t quite the mortal sin they once were. Well, as long as you’re making an impact when you are able to put the ball in play.
