@@jameshudson169 I'm going to need you to think for a second.Suppose Thome passed Jackson in exactly 55 at bats. That would mean he struck out in 89% of at bats, where as for his career he struck out in about 30% of at bats. So he would've needed closer to the neighborhood of 150 more at bats to break the record.
That's a lot of strikeouts by Jackson. But Reggie also homered in four consecutive swings in the World Series. Homering in four consecutive at-bats would be impressive enough.
You definitely need more subs. Fascinating channel. I love it. No dumb intro, just straight to the point. Subbed today, in fact. Keep up the great work.
Lew Brown........ Wow he must've been old in Major League I and II. And that's Pud Galvin the HITTER, not pitcher 😁Babe Ruth rockets up any list he's on! And try pausing at 4:05, triple 666's (difficult). Never knew Stargell was the all time leader for a spell (not for long though) thanks Reggie!
Maybe. He is currently 22nd and his K rate is close to Dunn’s (Stanton at 28.3% vs Dunn’s 28.6%). He’s also got four seasons possibly with his contract, so we’ll see. He’d probably have to average at least 500 PA a season, though.
Years ago Hall of Famer Bob Feller was asked if Reggie Jackson should be in the Hall of Fame. He said, no because he stikes out too much. Here we are decades later and Jackson still leads this dubious list.
Jackson also had more home runs and World Series titles than Feller. He had a tendency to dislike people who outperformed him in terms of output and style.
@frankbandera6591 Was Jackson available for a war? Feller was old enough for WWII. Jackson was kind of past all that. I guess he could've tried Vietnam, but he wouldn't have been the only baseball player to said no to that one.
@@HufflepuffBaseball42313 I meant a relative bum, not an actual bum. In the scheme of the world he was obviously an incredible baseball player - he was paid 185 million dollars to play baseball...I couldn't get paid $1.85 to play baseball. Still, most of those names had to play like 2O years to get on this list and he got on it like a strikeout prodigy.
It all proves you have to be good to last long enough to put up truly bad numbers. I'm curious what changed in the mid- to late-1960s that suddenly made all the top spots active. Just happened to be the perfect balance of older players lasting long enough to cause a wholesale turnover at the top, or something else?
The top pitchers took it to another level - Koufax, Drysdale, Gibson, Jenkins to name a few. Also as you mentioned, the (mostly) homerun hitters having long careers.
I always knew Mr. Over-rate-tober was 1st. To think they put him in the HOF with lifetime .262 b/a & a terrible defensive player to boot all because he hit 3 HR's in a WS game. Before the 1960's, it was an embarrassment to have over a hundred S/O's in a season.
For a moment, I thought it meant pitching strikeout leaders.
Me too.
i was like man Jimmy Fox was a good pitcher too
it must be heart breaking for jim thome. knowing that all he needs is fifty more atbats and he could shatter reggie's record. fifty-five TOPS!
Bruh he's nt going to strikeout in 50 consecutive at bats😭
@@BillyBall35 fifty-five tops!

@@BillyBall35 yes, now it's your turn to think for a second. he's like 53 now. surely he'd beat his career average if he had a comeback.

this list shows getting striked out is not the end of the world
Cabrera is the only player with 2000+ K and a batting average over .300. A-Rod was close. Jeter is in the 1800s somewhere with a .310 Average.
Manny Ramirez is in the 1800s as well with a .312 avg
Thanks! Missed him.@@danepotmo2513
Pretty much what I thought. Except for Lou Brock. That was suprising.
Lou Brock was biggest surprise for me.

Despite being labeled as him in many sources, that standing image isn’t likely not Candy Cummings.
0:02 oh hai Denny
Tony Gwynn laughs
Reggie Jackson Rules
how good do you have be to hav ethis record and still be in the league a long time. Amazing record actually.
If Stanton stays healthy he has a shot at Reggie.
sorry to disappoint you.....
You don’t know anything about baseball 😂
Joey gallo has almost 1200 in 9 seasons (one of those being the 60 game covid season)
Maybe. He is currently 22nd and his K rate is close to Dunn’s (Stanton at 28.3% vs Dunn’s 28.6%). He’s also got four seasons possibly with his contract, so we’ll see.

as a mariner fan i am surprised eugenio suarez isnt here
😂😂😂😂
I thought it was going to be all-time strikeouts by pitchers
Not surprised that Barry Bonds never made it on the list @ 2007
Bo Jackson would’ve been on top of this list without his injuries
I predict by the time he retires (in 2031) Mike Trout will break the record.
Nah. By then Stanton would have already done it
He doesn’t play enough to ever come close
Is the immortal mark Reynolds here? Today's hitters don't realize a strikeout isn't just another out. Put the ball in play something can happen!!
Really impressive that Pujols was not on this list. Also way to go Adam Dunn!
Pujols has more extra base hits than strikeouts.
Great point, no Albert.

Maybe Bob shouldn't have been in the Hall of Fame since he threw most walks when he retired

@@Siege924 True but Feller had more military medals than Jackson had world series rings

@@Siege924 Sure. I suppose Jackson could've volunteered for Vietnam like Feller volunteered for WW2. Feller could've gotten out of WW2 but didn't.
At 10:12 Chris Davis makes an appearance. That bum only had like 8 or 9 seasons where he was even an everyday player.
To his credit he led the league in homers twice and had a 53 homer season

This is batters being struck out yes?
Yes
So not a list you want to be on. Great players, but damn!
Universal dominate stuff pitchers including multiple relievers on each club make the strikeout no big thing for a batter anymore
If they stay healthy the record will be for Trout and Stanton...
Unm at first I thought this was pitchers strikeout not batters. Y'all know this is a negative stat right? Nothing to be proud of...
Thought this was for pitchers..lmao
Pud Galvin 😂
This is a negative stat, I was expecting to see pitchers lol, can you really use the word "Leaders" here?

What do you mean what happened? The pitching got better. They used to throw an 80s fastball
トムブラウンて😅
Not a single old-time player on the list
Because the pitching back then was meatballs being served
Davis lol

Dude had 563 HR (+18 HR & 48 RBI postseason), 2584 hits.. and a higher batting avg than most guys today.. just say you don't like the guy.
