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.

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.

[pavyracer]

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?
