When pitchers bat, what % do you think they strike out??

[SamsNCharge99]

40%

[pavyracer]

They hit close to 10% so the 90% of times they don't hit is probably 40% K's, 25% flyouts, 15% groundouts and 10% walks.

[SamsNCharge99]

10% walks is too high, I rarely see a pitcher walk

that's just terrible pitching on the other side

I think 40% is accurate number though, I always see them striking out

Instead of creating your 84th thread of the day, take the time and research it; you are a college boy after all.

[gryfyn1]

Last year Pitcher struck out 1969 time in 5967 AB (33.0%); they walked 231 (3.9%)
They batted 136/176/174 (Last year Mark Reynolds of the Diamond backs K'd in 33.6 of his PAs; for his career Yuniesky Betancourt Has walked 85 times in 2619 PAs or 3.2%)

Thats is not how you post whore, in order to post 500 times a day you need to have 50 conversations going.

*****MODS******** we gotta do something about this crap I will gladly do away with the point system in order to eliminate the forum crapping.

[Shortstop]

I'd say between 30 and 40% of the time.

some of the strikeouts come from them trying to bunt, I wonder what it is in non bunting situations also.

[Justin7]

A typical battor strikes out 12% of the time and bats about .250.

A typical pitcher hits about .140 with less slugging, but I don't have KO stats, but I would guess about 16 or 17%.

[pavyracer]

I know the Braves if there is a man on base the pitcher always bunts for a sacrifice.

pavy, all teams bunt in that same situation, not just the braves

[iceminers26]

pvay, all teams bunt in that same situation, not just the braves

[Herky]

I'd say between 30 and 40% of the time.

Way, way high. Less than 20 percent.

[ryanspeer2001]

I would break it down...

10% Helpful
99999% awful.

[Chi_archie]

this year so far the avg national league team has had 82 ab's from pitchers and an avg of 30 so's by those pitchers... for anv whiff rate of 36.58%

they are hitting .152

[Sawyer]

Depends on pitcher.

40% was a pretty good guess...at first I was thinking it should be higher, but 40 nice guess.

[Willie Bee]

40% was a pretty good guess

'Good guess' is all it was, but then again any guess can qualify as 'good' I reckon.

You guys do know there are easy-access sites to tell y'all this, right?

The Astros pitching staff is running about 30%, Dodgers around 29%, Braves 26%. As Yogi might say, "You could look it up," and that's exactly what you can do for the other 13 NL clubs.

pavy, all teams bunt in that same situation, not just the braves

I only watch the Braves.



And it was a joke..



You can actually tell a joke without emoticons here, right?
