April 30, 200323 yr I was checking out baseball america today and came across the strangest batting stats I think I've ever seen. Rob Stratton - OF Albuquerque Isotopes AAA Pacific Coast League ------------------------------- Games 22 AB's 79 Homeruns 10 Stikeouts 41 AVG .215 Slugging .608 -------------------------------- Explain it if you can...
April 30, 200323 yr Reminds me of Josh Booty's stats from 1997- he hit 20 home runs but had 150+ strikeouts.
April 30, 200323 yr Don't know if you wanted the breakdown or if you were just stunned at the strikeout numbers, but anyway.... Well if he has a .215 batting average in 80 at-bats, That would amount to around 17 total hits. He has 10 homers, leaving only 7 singles or doubles. However slugging % if I'm not mistaken counts a double as 2 hits, triple as 3 hits, homer as 4 hits. So that's 40 hits just from 10 homers. Add another 10 hits or so from his 7 singles/doubles, and suddenly you're looking at a slugging % over .600. go Robert Stratton! :blink: Maybe he's been looking at Barry Bonds' stats thinking, hey half of Bonds' hits are home runs, I can do that...
April 30, 200323 yr Reminds me of Josh Booty's stats from 1997- he hit 20 home runs but had 150+ strikeouts. Hey, who's laughing now, huh? Carolina Mudcats are eclipsing the Sea Dogs.
