Reply to "Strikeouts"

I looked at the career strikeout percentage leaders, and Joe Sewell is #1 at 1.6%. There is only one active player in the top 100 - Juan Pierre, #98 at 6.1%. Dimaggio is %58 and Jackie Robinson is #91.

It is clear looking at the top 100 that there are far more strikeouts in the modern game than in the first half of the 20th century.

I wonder now that the steroids era is over will we see fewer strikeouts and a higher premium on putting the ball in play?
