Enjoy researching this one...the answer will have a very negative WAR!!

OK, Austin Jackson had 4 HR's and 170 Strikeouts in 2010 and I'm gonna stop right there.

Don't know if he's the guy you're looking for, as he still somehow had a 5.1 WAR, batted .293 and came in 2nd in Rookie of the Year voting that year.

I'm sure there's a bunch of slap hitters who had 0 or 1 HR's and however many strikeouts to have a much higher ratio than Jackson, but 170 K's to only 4 HR's is pretty impressive to me.
