I took a look at VGs stats and I was a bit surprised. I had this impression that he was a free swinger (a VERY GOOD free swinger, mind you). But the stats don’t bear that out.
Sure he has his fair share of K’s. but he never struck out more than 100 in a season (he came close with 95 in his first full season in MTL). He has a fair amount of BBs as well. Probably a result of pitchers pitching around him but still..
This year? He has equal amounts of K’s to BBs. 44.
