Mickey Mantle struck out an average of 115 times a season (which was heavily criticized back then) but still hit for .300. Mantle was versatile as well. He would drag bunt down the first base line, beat the throw, get a single and get the runner over.
Aaron Judge strikes out 140+ times during the 2017, 2018 and 2019 seasons and can't crack .300. It's pathetic. It's either a homerun or a strike out with guys like Judge and Stanton. How about slow down your swing and hit to the opposite field, get a base hit, get the runner over and maybe drive in a run? Nope. It's usually a strikeout/pop up or a home run.
