Adam Dunn's Brutal Numbers at the Plate for the Chicago White Sox

How bad was Adam Dunn in 2011 for the Chicago White Sox?  I took a look at some of his statistics on Baseball Reference.com for the 2011 season and thought I would share them with you.


In 496 plate appearances Dunn hit .159 had only 66 hits and scored only 36 times all year.  He did hit 11 homes but he struck out 177 times and his strikeout percentage (percentage of all plate appearances ending in a K) was a whopping 35.7%!  He was last on the Sox with a contact percentage (foul + inplay strikes / foul + inplay + swinging strikes) of 68% - the team average was 81%. 

Only 24% of Dunn's outs were productive outs where he advanced a runner. 
Only Alexis Rios was lower at 21% and the league average is 33%.
