Joey Gallo's historic K-rate and BABiP

[LarryWalkerFan]

If anyone is having a "Joey Gallo Historic K Rate" game used fire sale please contact me. I have a soft spot for 21 year old power hitting lefties who have already had a taste of the Major Leagues.

153 PA
133 AB (1.75 AB per K)
76 K (49.67% of the time he steps up the plate, he strikes out at the MLB level)
.173 BA
.281 OBP
.368 SLG
.195 ISO

How do you feel about 23-yr-old strike out specialists... who aren't pitchers?

If Gallo is allowed to start on an every day basis in MLB, he might eventually figure out pitch recognition. Otherwise, he will absolutely destroy Mark Reynolds' reputation as the worst strikeout hitter of all time.

Career across all levels:

1869 AB
794 K
324 BB
159 HR

42.48% K-rate
8.5% HR-rate
17.3% BB-rate

Maybe Gallo will eventually figure out MLB pitching, but he likely won't improve until 2019, if ever. So, is a 25-yr-old Russell Branyan two years from now worth anything to an MLB team today?
