Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area outlines all that went good or bad last year for Panik and what his future may hold with the San Francisco Giants.
One thing that jumped out to me was the fact that Panik had a strikeout rate of just 7.7 percent in 2018 and has led the National League in having the lowest strikeout rate the last three seasons.
That seems good, right? Well, in my opinion it is, but in today’s game less and less of a premium is being placed on simply putting the ball in play.
