I thought this was some sort of joke as Gwynn was hurt in 1995, but just looked it up and he played 135 games hahahahaah.

My favourite K stats are this guy

Wow. He probably choked up 8 inches and slapped everything.

Boggs had a season in over 700 PA swung and missed 11 times

Oops

Struck out looking a lot then was he?

Oh my. A tingling in my loins.

Bighurt, if you can handle it, one guy was just a whole lot crazier than anyone else who ever lived. a few of my favs

Simply da GOAT

Im curious about other OBPs on 3-0 counts. Making an out on > 3% of 3-0 pitches that result in an outcome. Would be curious to see the numbers on only struck balls on 3-0 count.

wow guess he got sick of being called a free swinger in 1922

from his nytimes obituary:

Aside from his record of 115 straight games without striking out in 1929 and his average of about one strikeout every 16 games, the most compelling evidence of Mr. Sewell's uncanny ability to get the wood solidly onto the ball was that he used only one bat during his entire major league career. It was a 35-inch, 40-ounce Ty Cobb model Louisville Slugger he kept in condition by seasoning it with chewing tobacco and stroking it with a Coke bottle

Also- he struck out twice in a game twice in his entire career

And this beauty-Sewell, who died in 1990, would likely be aghast at today’s strikeout rates. “There’s no excuse for a major league player striking out 100 times a season,” he said in 1960. “Unless, of course, he’s blind.”
