I realize no one cares, but Gallo's K-rate now exceeds his SLG at the MLB level.

Gallo was sent down today when Josh Hamilton was activated.

If anyone is having a "Joey Gallo Historic K Rate" game used fire sale please contact me. I have a soft spot for 21 year old power hitting lefties who have already had a taste of the Major Leagues. :D

How do you feel about 23-yr-old strike out specialists... who aren't pitchers?
If Gallo is allowed to start on an every day basis in MLB, he might eventually figure out pitch recognition. Otherwise, he will absolutely destroy Mark Reynolds' reputation as the worst strikeout hitter of all time.
Career across all levels:
1869 AB
794 K
324 BB
159 HR
42.48% K-rate
8.5% HR-rate
17.3% BB-rate
Maybe Gallo will eventually figure out MLB pitching, but he likely won't improve until 2019, if ever. So, is a 25-yr-old Russell Branyan two years from now worth anything to an MLB team today?
Now that Gallo has enough ABs to no longer be considered an extremely small sample size, here are his 162 game averages:
222 Ks
477 ABs
95 Hs
39 HRs
77 BBs
.200/.319/.495

Basically, over the course of an average 162 game season, Gallo is expected to tie the MLB strikeout record.
Of course, someone will undoubtedly bring up Aaron Judge, whose average strikeouts per 162 is one higher, but Gallo still takes the prize for worst contact hitter, since his strikeout rate (.465) crushes his OBP (.319). Judge, by contrast, has an OBP (.404) that exceeds his strikeout rate (.400).
