The Braves acquired Casey Kotchman yesterday in the trade sending Mark Teixeira to the Angels.  Kotchman is a very good fielder with solid offensive numbers.  The one thing that Kotchman doesn’t have a lot of is strikeouts… which is good.  In fact he is one of the hardest players in baseball to strike out.

Fewest strikeouts this season with players who have played 100 or more games

Yuniesky Betancourt: 101 games - 22 strikeouts

Casey Kotchman: 100 games - 23 strikeouts

Robinson Cano: 104 games - 33 strikeouts

Dustin Pedroia: 106 games - 38 strikeouts

Cristian Guzman: 101 games - 39 strikeouts
