One Astros’ outfielder, Jake Marisnick, has struck out 24 times in 45 at-bats. And no walks.
Yes, no walks. Not good, if you ask me. But the power is still there, for those wondering. And, yes, power can exist even if you make contact at an infrequent rate.
Another Astros’ outfielder, Derek Fisher, has struck out 16 times in 32 at-bats. He only has two walks on the season.
Still not good. But he does provide quality defense in left field. See his home run saving play on Wednesday.
On the whole, the Astros have struck more times than not compared to roughly one calendar year ago.
