Joe Sewell's BB/K Ratio

I was looking through FanGraphs today, and looked at the graphs of my favorite player of all time, Joe Sewell. This is his BB/K rate compared to the league average. Notice the lack of the green line for Sewell. Sewell's career BB/K Ratio was 7.39, and as high as 18.67 some seasons. That's right. Joe Sewell's batting eye was *literally* off the charts.

That is impressive

Being 5’6" probably helped, right?

and he wasnt this ridiculous

Friend:why do you love ripping on Jeff Francoeur?
Me: Because hes an idiot, who posseses huge physical tools but will not, nay, cannot, harness those tools into any sembelance of usable baseball skill and refuses to make any effort to do so. Hes like a tragic greek figure. doomed by his own stupidity and 80 raw power.

BB/K Ratio Report

Sewell’s numbers are quite impressive. Tommy Holmes is another one with some high ratios (64 bb vs 10 k’s in one season). Here’s a report where you can have some fun looking at the top 25 by league by season:
