Myth: Guys Who Strike Out a Lot Don’t Hit For Avg.
This has never been true, especially for certain guys, and it’s dramatically not true in the case of Ryan Howard, he of the 56 homers, 139 RBI and .314 batting average. Howard has struck out 161 times in 143 games this year. So take your little idea about how high strikeout totals correspond with low batting averages and shove them into your freezer with Ted Williams.
