At his current pace, Ryan McMahon could become the all-time Rockies leader in a category no one wants to be king of — most strikeouts in a single season.
Through Thursday’s 5-3 loss at Tampa Bay, McMahon has recorded 157 strikeouts (fourth most in MLB this season) in 513 plate appearances. Trevor Story sits atop Colorado’s notorious leaderboard with 191 strikeouts from 2017. This season, McMahon is striking out once per every 3.27 plate appearances or 30.6% of the time. If McMahon plays in 33 of the remaining 35 games, he is on pace to record 40 more strikeouts, bringing his total to 197.
