Kind of hard to think of a number that *doesn't* prove that Franklin did more with the ball when he made contact.

Concept here, Anon, is this: compare Ichiro's 2004 season and Vlad Guerrero's 1999 season. They both managed the strike zone exactly the same way (K:BB:PA) ... but one slugged .450 and the other .600.
Balls and strikes are one thing. What happens when you hit the ball is another.
....................
Compare Wood's and Franklin's age-19 seasons and you'll see that although K:BB:PA were the same, everything else wasn't.

Of course, it was at age 20 that Wood exploded.
