In 2019, strikeouts and home runs are at an all-time high. If you only watch the Giants, you wouldn’t notice the home run surge, but you’d definitely notice the strikeouts. Tyler Austin is striking more than any other Giant before him, but the spike has benefited the pitchers as well. Halfway through the year, the Giants currently have two of the top strikeout seasons in Giants history (min 30 IP.). Those two pitchers, of course, are Reyes Moronta and Will Smith. Smith and Moronta also posted top-ten strikeout rates last year.
