1930
585 at bats - that’s an average of 3.8 ABs in 154 games.
191 RsBI
105 walks
84 strikeouts.
Those account for 65% of his at bats.

The question I have is WHEN did he accumulate his hits 208 of which 56 were HR’s? A starting pitcher at the time often went well into the latter innings so later in the game they were surely wearing out. That could offer some of the explanation to his performance as well as the lead up hitters before him.
