Adam Dunn's march to one of, if not the worst, year by a hitter in major league history hit a new low this week when his strikeout total actually caught up to his batting average! Dunn now has 161 strikeouts and a matching .161 batting average. A player on a seemingly methodical march to 500 homers has been derailed by a historic hapless year. In 380 AB's, he has just 11 dingers and a .282 slugging avg, yes slugging avg. He is striking out nearly 40% of his plate appearances. It is the 2nd time in the long history of MLB that a player's strikout total has caught up to his BA after more than 35 at-bats. Dunn is only a .244 career hitter but has averaged over 35 homers with just over a .500 slugging %.

I read an article when he signed as free agent on how he would be a safe signee and immune to the free agent collapse.
I guess the writer was wrong.
