Son said that his HS team has 90+ strikeouts this year in around 400 at bats. This seems pretty high to me. Anybody have any comparisons? Around 25% seems way to high to me.

Last season,
our HSV batters K'd in 14% of their at-bats
our opponents K'd in 18% of their at-bats
This season,
your son's team has K'd in 22% of their at-bats

But if my team K'd in 25% of its at-bats and led the conference in runs-scored, I'd tell them, keep up the good work.
2011 MLB Texas Rangers 16.4%

Depends. Check the percentages using PA’s not at bats. If they get 90 in 400 ABs it sounds great, but if they walk or hit 100, suddenly things look a bit different.
I wouldn’t pay a whole lot of attention to that as a comparison with other schools because there’s no way of knowing if almost all of the K”s came from one kid, or against weak competition.
