If only Judge could reduce his Strike Outs to go along with his BA in the .360s in 2025. But his SO rate wasn't so different in 2025 as it had been in the previous three non injury seasons:

SO/PA	SO/AB	Season
44.2%	50.0%	2016
30.7%	38.4%	2017
30.5%	36.8%	2018
31.5%	37.3%	2019
28.1%	31.7%	2020
25.0%	28.7%	2021
25.1%	30.7%	2022
28.4%	35.4%	2023
24.3%	30.6%	2024
25.1%	30.5%	2025

But what of other high SO, high BA sluggers like Babe Ruth and Mickey Mantle? What of any batters?

1903-2024, AB >= 400, Hits/(AB-SO) >= .430:

Maybe the most interesting among these 68, is #58: Ted Williams in 1941 with his .406 BA and only 27 SO. And remember, Williams did not have Sacrifice Flies deducted from his AB in 1941. George Sisler is second from the bottom with the fewest SO: 14.

Hornsby (twice), Cobb, Heilmann, Terry lose .400 Batting Average when adding Sacrifice Flies to At Bats.  Monday, May 26, 2025

Judge is listed three times in the top 10 through 2024. Ruth three times in the top 12.

Mantle is only numbers 46 and 48.

Manny Ramirez 2000 edges out Ruth 1923 for #1.

Active players in addition to Judge: 7 Yoan Moncada, 23 Bryce Harper, 29 Tyler O'Neill, Yankee teammate 33 Paul Goldschmidt. 42 Christian Yelich, 45 Brent Rooker, 47 Mike Trout, 62 Brandon Marsh.

Maybe it's a hitter's version of BA on balls in play. Hey, it even includes Home Runs!
