...that a big part of the reason DiMag didn't fan back then was that NO ONE fanned back then...right? The strike zone was the size of a feather from a Parakeet...smaller than it is TODAY!...especially side to side...the league average BB/K ratio was 1-ish. the best strikeout pitchers occasionally managed 7 K/9 and the average pitchers were running 3 K, 3 BB lines. If DiMag played today, he would still be a great hitter...but he'd be fanning 60 times a year, not 30
