Just for some perspective, here are the league leaders in Home Runs and how many times they've struck out.

 

EE: 24 HR, 55 SO

Cruz: 24 HR, 69 SO

Abreu: 23 HR, 70 SO

Stanton: 20 HR, 86 SO

VMart: 19 HR, 22 SO

Tulowitzki: 18 HR, 46 SO

Donaldson: 18 HR, 71 SO

 

 

That is remarkable. The guy is a great hitter getting lucky with a power surge but also taking advantage of being asked to do nothing but hit.

 

 

Edit:

As I typed that, VMart hit his 20th HR of the year.
