his near 30% strikeout rate


No one says he doesn't strike out. He's expected to be a .260/.350/.500 guy with 30% Ks this year. That would be just fine.

quote:

Bryant’s projections are all very optimistic, given his youth, and are all in the same range. PECOTA has him at .261/.351/.516 (31.4% K rate), ZiPS has him at .256/.339/.500 (32.9%), and Steamer has him at .260/.333/.498 (29.7%). If Bryant actually performs at those levels, he will dramatically impact the Cubs’ overall performance this year.
Dan Szymborski writes that Bryant’s ZiPS projection is the best he’s ever seen for a prospect. Ever-ever. And he, you know, created ZiPS.

there are players that strike out a lot (mike trout, giancarlo stanton, jim thome, ryan howard). Your .280 hitters with near .400 OBP



then there are players that strike out a lot (Chris carter, evan gattis, george spriner, jon singleton). Your .230 hitters with .310 OBP's.


big difference in these type of players

I am not surprised by the K at all...I bet Maddon said just go out there and swing away, it's your first AB. Let's see if he sees more pitches in his second AB.

Outside the Bryant debut, the Cubs have a real test here against an improved San Diego team that throws its three best pitchers this weekend.

That's how to make batting the pitcher bat 8th work well.

Herrera with the 3-2 bunt. Ballsy AF

Just the way Maddon drew it up with Hammel hitting 8th.

I think you're missing the point.

They all strike out a lot. It's what you do when you don't strike out.
