Could well be .... firmly believe that a lot of "math" is done nowadays and this combined with taking a gamble on pitchers results in increase of extra base hits - or K`s (btw I`m baffled how many pitcher - not even speaking about relievers/closers - command a fastball between 95-98 mph) .... agree with Paul that Aaron Judge`s strike outs are not the stuff to write home about, but at the same time I really do appreciate his ability enabling him to make significant adjustments (both toolwise and mentally - the expectations (aka pressure) after the first half season and the Homerun Derby were skyhigh to say the least) after a subpar August 2017 campaign ....
