Stubbs Whiffs For 200th Time

21. September 2011  - Published by Dan Clasgens

Cincinnati Reds' outfielder Drew Stubbs struck out for the 200th time, joining Mark Reynolds as the only major leaguers to strike out 200 times in a season. Reynolds has accomplished the dubious feat three times, including a record 223 times in 2009.

“It’s something he has to work on in the winter,” Reds manger Dusty Baker told the Cincinnati Enquirer. “We’ll give him a plan. You don’t sit him down to prevent. You’ve got to play through it. It’s been tough on him for the last month to six weeks.”
