We do strike out a lot, but looking at the numbers, does it really matter? There is no correlation between K's and runs scored. Some teams like the Padres this season, do K a lot and score few runs, but other teams do not follow this trend. The Brewers are 4th in K's and 6th in runs scored in the NL. The Dodgers are 13th in K's (173 fewer than Brewers), and 13th in runs scored (58 fewer than Brewers). Now part of the Dodgers lack of runs could be due to playing in pitchers parks, but look at the Astros (11th in K's), (11th in runs scored), and they play in a hitters park. There is however, a correlation between ops. and runs scored. So really, it doesn't matter if your team srikes out a lot or not. If they have a high ops., they're going to score a lot of runs.
