I like to think I understand what I'm watching, but I've been wrong.
We've all been wrong so many times this year.
It has been ridiculous with the Mets, with the Yankees, with just about every team you look at and say, I missed on them.
That's why this has been such an interesting season.
All right, so I'm going to give you two, okay?
Shohei Ohtani is going to win the MVP again this year.
He struck out 187 times, so he's going to have the second most strikeouts ever.
in an MVP season with 187.
And he is the record holder at 189.
So the two greatest strikeout seasons during an MVP year are both held by Shohei Ohtani, who is the best player in the National League.
He's going to win the unanimous MVP again this year.
He's the most remarkable player anyone has ever seen, and yet he strikes out all the time, proving again
that the stuff that we see in the big leagues right now is unbelievably good.
I mean, these guys have no shot against the pitching that we see today unless a guy misses location.
So that's one stat, and it's just showing you what the strikeout rate is like.
The other thing is we hit home runs at an outrageous rate.
We have 19 three-homer games, individual three-homer games this year, 19.
And it's not even the record.
The record is 21 three-homer seasons.
Keep in mind that Hank Aaron had one three-homer season.
