Pitcher Hitting

Pitchers are not recruited for their offensive abilities, and maybe that's become even more true in recent years. Last year was the first time inlie 15 years that the league wide strike out raid did not increase. Part of that was a because of the lack of sticky stuff, and the fact that strike outraid went down after that was banned. But also, i think even if you compared position players to position players, one year over the next, it didn't increase,. ecause otherwise you might have thought, well, that's just because, you know. The number of actual pitcher played appearances that n teams or seeing was probably on a decline over the ears.
