Strikeouts Are Becoming a Theme For Indianapolis Hitters

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – There are two common themes with the Indianapolis offense this season. They run, and they strikeout…a lot.

More than just looking at the box score, it is clear while watching the team on the field. Not only does the team strikeout, the power numbers have not followed. As a team, Indianapolis has struck out 244 times in 821 at bats through Friday.

As Tim Williams pointed out last week, Indianapolis is part of a system trend of higher strikeouts.

The first month of the 2022 minor league season is in the books.
