Who Will Break The All-Time Strikeout Record? The Race for 2598 l Baseball Bits

[@FoolishBaseball]

This video is doing quite well. Huge thanks to you guys for the support. I'm seeing some comments about the Aaron Judge depiction being terrifying. That's on intern Tristan, not me. BUT, if you use code FOOLISH on SeatGeek (sg.app.link/​FOOLISH​ ), I might able to hire a new intern, preferably a cute art major.

[@parkercrossland410]

A trend I've noticed is that, at least in OOTP 19, is that the trends start to increase near exponentially in terms of offense a few years down the line. Miguel Sano struck out 269 times in the 2023 season to break his own record for the 3rd consecutive year. That isn't even close to today's record.

[@FoolishBaseball]

Definitely. I think Stanton had a 240 season in there. Pretty exaggerated.

[@nacoran]

How about a left/right starter who takes two spots in the rotation to go after Ryan? (or acting as a starter every day but only going 2+ innings, switching hands on different days. 12 innings per 5 games vs. Ryan going 9 every 4 in his Angel days, combined with batters taking more strikeouts in exchange for more home runs. He retires holding the most home runs allowed by a left handed pitcher AND the record for most home runs allowed by a right hander. (I mean, we've got one pitcher/hitter opening the floodgates on that. Billy Wagner pitched with his non-dominant hand, so it's possible to have someone dominant with their non-dominant hand, so why not with both?)

Did you know in 1995 Tony Gwynn had 535 at bats and struck out just 15 times? That's 35.7 AB per SO. In contrast Judge had 542 AB and 208 SO in 2017. That's 2.6 AB per SO. I'd say they aren't even playing the same game.

Dont compare an obese midget that looks like hes fucking a stool when hes batting to aaron judge.

Since the mound was lowered in 1969, only four players have had a qualifying season where they struck out less often: - Dave Cash, 1976, 51.23 AB/SO - Tim Foli, 1979, 38.00 AB/SO - Matty Alou, 1970, 37.61 AB/SO - Felix Millan, 1974, 37.00 AB/SO

[@SupplementalSense]

@@pinheadpatrick1550 I know right, Gwynn was far superior. Judge is just a big blind man that can't see the ball apparently.

[@NJGuy1973]

It's not a question of who's better. A team needs players who can get on base, and those who can drive them home. Even when Gwynn was hitting .370, if the Padres had no power hitters Gwynn was going to be stranded often. And if the Yankees don't have a good leadoff man most of Judge's homers will be solo shots.

Joey Gallo currently has 93 home runs in his career, and only 85 singles. Not really relevant to whether or not he's good, but it's absolutely fascinating. He also hasn't hit a sac fly despite his nearly 50% fly ball rate. He is, in my opinion, the most interesting player in the league.

[@FoolishBaseball]

Chris Davis may break it in next four years if Orioles let him play out his contract. Sits at 1716 and averaging 212/year.

[@Compucles]

I don't think he's going to strike out anywhere near 212 times here in 2020. Also, if the O's even get close to finish rebuilding before his contract is up, he's going straight to the bench if not released.

[@eddielol9909]

Well he didnt beat it

[@studogable]

Checking in again in 2024 about 2/3 through the season. Stanton is leading this cohort, but is still 687 back of Reggie as opposed to breaking the record. He's actually had a good year so far (OPS+ 119), so he may play another four seasons or so, but he's missed about 30 games and missed 50+ each of the last two years, so I'm betting against him ever breaking the record. Harper is well back of pace with 1,474. He's missed some time as well post-COVID. His SO% this year is still kinda high (20.6%), but lower than his career figure. I wouldn't bet on him overtaking Reggie. Judge is WAY back at 1,149, both because of some missed time and lower SO%. Trout is closer at 1,485, mostly because of his injuries. Gallo is way back at 1,261 and may be on his way out - he's only topped 100 OPS+ once since this video, and then only barely (101 in 2023). I feel safe in saying that none of these guys will pass Reggie, mostly because their bodies are breaking down. Like I said two years ago, there seems to be a weird correlation between high strikeout rates and injuries - as Foolish says, big bodies break down.

[@wtrout9359]

thank you for doing the 5 minutes of internet research that i am too lazy to do

[@studogable]

Another addendum: Freddie Freeman may have entered the discussion five years later. He has 1,603 Ks for his career and is playing great at age 34 (152 OPS+ this year, and leading the league in games played). He probably won't pass Reggie, but the only guy in this video he currently trails is Stanton - who is the same age but isn't playing nearly as much.

I agree, he started when he was 21 and has a 30.1% SO rate. His career started with a 44.6% SO rate so when he starts to decline his rate is sure to go up. Given that there seems to be an abundance of teams willing to sign players for absurd amounts of time for a shit ton of pay because they had a few good years, it is a fair bet.

[@FoolishBaseball]

@@OtKH00 You've fudged the numbers a little a bit. Baez started at age 21 but didn't get a full season until he was 23. He has a 30.1% K rate THIS YEAR (small sample size), but a 28.2% rate for his career, including 25.9% in 2018. I'm not saying he can't do it, but your numbers make it seem like he's a slam dunk.

He will turn into your classic launch angle, strike out hitter.

Pre 2024 season Stanton currently has just over 1800 but was on pace for about 2100 if Covid didn’t happen and a slew of injuries in 2019-2021. Given his recent productivity decline I’m curious how he’ll finish, I don’t think he hits 3k like OOTP said lol but if he can stay healthy and actually plays for another 4-5 years he has a legit shot. The only other guys I think are even in the convo are Trout, Eugenio Suarez, Harper and maybe Judge if he plays that long and starts to strike out like his younger self did since he’s really brought his numbers down. Ohtani is also a possibility but a complete wildcard tbh, some other potential dark horses imo would be guys like Devers, Correa, Lindor, Moncada and even younger guys like Acuna but there is a lot of guessing and projection with all them so it’s a hard call right now.

Reggie the SO king ... I had forgotten that factoid ... all this time I thought Reggie was a 1 dimensional player ...

[@davidnickels1265]

I want to take into account divisional pitching teams such as the Cleveland Indians, who are strikeout machines. The pitchers that these players face give them more of a chance to strike out than players in other divisions. Of course, the OOTP sim gave a scenario of what might happen, but I think we need to see the highest strikeout pitchers with the longest contracts, and find players from that division, also on long contracts.

[@FoolishBaseball]

That's a good point actually. I think Houston is the staff that gets the most strikeouts.

Looking back at this sim and comparing the 2021 season to this sim projections, actually not that bad

[@zedramer]

I'm sorry for pausing your video, please forgive me.

[@FoolishBaseball]

You're the first person to apologize, so I'll accept. Remember, pausing a video is an invasion of privacy. I put all kinds of things in my videos for safekeeping, like grocery lists and social security numbers. That doesn't give you any right to pause.

[@zedramer]

@@FoolishBaseball Could you please grab some more milk? I had too many hot wings and drank it all.

[@cosmoid]

We need a remake of this video

[@DrAnarchy69]

The inclusion of Judge vis a vis strikeouts did not age well. But including Joey Gallo did

[@michaelmcdonnell936]

im binging all of these videos and love that every one has one of my favorite soundtracks

[@petecampbell4196]

If only Michael Jordan's prolific baseball career hadn't been cut short by some other nonsense, I think he would have it under wraps

[@Compucles]

The Looney Tunes just had to drag him back into basketball...

[@willskeldon7700]

So happy to see another upload!!! Keep it up

[@FoolishBaseball]

Thanks dude!

[@eddiezwickl8604]

You made judge and upton look absolutely terrifying lmao

[@FoolishBaseball]

I think the problem is that all my Baseball Bit sprites (I'm not artist) have normal expressions and cold, dead eyes.

[@eddiezwickl8604]

Foolish Baseball regardless, I absolutely love the work you’ve put out so far. So good.

[@BigCatOO91]

Baseball is only my third favorite sport. Behind Football and Soccer respectively. But you're my favorite content creator. I actively sit through the commercials just for you! Keep it up!!!

As much as I love him as a Reds fan, Elly de La Cruz has the first 3 criteria already 😂 He might be a top contender for this record.

The Barry Bonds rant had me in tears. So glad we agree on that bastard.

[@SteefPip]

I hope that next year you do a retrospective video grading your simulation.

[@mlbeditz9549]

Who else can’t wait to see what Aaron judge looks like when he’s 40

[@FoolishBaseball]

I think we just caught a glimpse with the, err, illustration.

[@sneersh9107]
