Hi, Doc,

Longtime reader/highly infrequent community discussion participator (a time thing) Merrill Danford here, and I have a question, if you don't mind ...

I'm confused about the parts in this two-article series (the Grantland quote, above, and a bit of your writing towrad the middle/end of the last post) that seem to indicate that a high K rate is part of the "contact hitter" portfolio. I thought contact hitters were guys with both low K and BB rates. Am I misreading and/or misunderstanding? If not, sorry to ask for your time, but would you mind explaining the high K rate? Thanks, if so, and no problem, I get it, if you don't have the time ...

All the best,

MerrillD
