August 25, 201610 yr He's only hitting .216 with two strikes. His OBP is solid enough though. Where are you getting your numbers? He has 74 RBI for the season. I pulled those numbers from baseball reference. Must have misread the RBI number. For some reason I thought I saw 67 RBI. So at 74 total RBI, almost half have come with 2 strikes. How does the .216 AVG compare to others around the league with two strikes? Good? Bad?
August 25, 201610 yr Votto with a bonehead play to aid the Rangers to three runs. Thats what 25M gets you.
August 25, 201610 yr Went to baseball reference to pull up stats on the top hitters in the NL to see how the top hitters do with 2 strikes: LeMahieu .264 AVG; .367 OBP; .394 SLG; .760 OPS with 2 strikes Murphy .277 AVG; .303 OBP; .525 SLG; .828 OPS Seager .218 AVG; .299 OBP; .352 SLG; .651 OPS Segura .269 AVG; .315 OBP; .373 SLG; .688 OPS Prado .298 AVG; .347 OBP; .421 SLG; .768 OPS Blackmon .230 AVG; .290 OBP; .391 SLG; .682 OPS Ramos .209 AVG; .303 OBP; .337 SLG; .640 OPS Votto .216 AVG; .334 OBP; .339 SLG; .673 OPS So Votto's AVG is among the lowest of the top hitters in the NL with 2 strikes but his other stats are pretty good compared to them.
August 25, 201610 yr It also gets you the hottest hitter in the MLB. Who has also struck out over 104 times with 2 strikes.
August 25, 201610 yr Author Who has also struck out over 104 times with 2 strikes. Well it's hard to strike out with 1 strike...
August 25, 201610 yr The Reds are actually playing some entertaining baseball right now. It is fun to watch the team be competitive.
August 25, 201610 yr To answer P-Man's question, 19 hitters in the NL have struck out more than Votto. That list includes: Freddie Freeman Giancarlo Stanton Kris Bryant Andrew McCutcheon Paul Goldschmidt I am sure none of them can hit either.
