Reply to "Strikeouts"

I beleive it was Joe Sewell who went something like 437 at bats in 115 games without striking out.

I am not sure i agree with the whole SABR in using balls in play as pitching effectiveness. As a pitcher, you want to pitch to contact and make the hitter put the ball in play, never trying to strke someone out until you have 2 strikes on the hitter.

As a coach, you love players who do not strikeout. Obviously putting the ball in play leads to opportunities for the hitter.
