Acuña and Suárez are among leaders in strikeouts

[KEPY™]

In the modern era of baseball, the old pretexts that were used to qualify batters were already put aside. Now, beyond conventional statistics, there are numerous factors that determine the success of a player, such as the WAR, while the number of strikeouts is no longer one of the most negative categories, and for example there are the seasons of the toleteros Ronald Acuña Jr. and Eugenio Suárez.

Both Venezuelans are experiencing their best traffic in the majors, registering offensive and devastating numbers, as each one adds more than 40 home runs and has more than 100 towed. However, it is also true that the gardener and the antealist are the leader and leader in fans throughout the great tent, with 188 and 184, respectively.

Creoles are the only hitters this year to exceed 180 strikeouts, and also the only natives in history to do so. And although they are not figures to celebrate, they are not alarming either.

The department is completed by other players of great strength such as Jorge Soler (174), Pete Alonso and Bryce Harper (172) and Rougned Odor (168).
Previously, the Venezuelan with the most punches in a season was Andrés Galarraga (169), until this 2019.

However, most of the hitters who make up the list of more punches received this season are those who are also among the home run leaders, and although this is not something new, there is the peculiarity that they now have much higher averages, as is the case of Acuña Jr. and Suárez, who reflect an average of .280 and .272, and show that the punches no longer have an impact as before.
