B.J. Upton claims Braves’ single-season strikeouts record
B.J. Upton‘s second-inning strikeout against Phillies starter Jerome
Williams marked number 172 on the season, breaking a tie with Dan Uggla for
the Braves’ single-season record. His brother Justin, who has not struck out
tonight as of this writing, has 169 strikeouts on the season.
It’s a feat of ignominy for B.J., whose Braves tenure has been less than
ideal after signing a five-year, $75.25 million contract in November 2012. In
two seasons in Atlanta entering tonight’s game, Upton has compiled a
.197/.277/.310 slash line with 20 home runs, 60 RBI, and 32 stolen bases in
44 attempts across 1,020 plate appearances.
Among players to have compiled at least 1,000 plate appearances over the last
two seasons, Upton’s -0.6 WAR (FanGraphs) ranks as the third-worst behind
only Adeiny Hechavarria and Dayan Viciedo. Typically, players who provide so
little value eventually lose out on their playing time, but the Braves are
committed to playing him everyday due to the amount of money and years they
committed to him.
