Would Nellie Fox Fan More Today?

The current leader in MLB with the lowest strike out frequency is David Fletcher. During his relatively brief career he strikes out roughly once in every 11 plate appearances.

Nellie Fox played nearly every game for a decade and a half with over 10,000 plate appearances. Nellie struck out only 218 times in his entire career, once in every 47 plate appearances, and never more than 18 times in a season.

Nellie suffered from a pathetic launch angle and substandard exit velocity by current standards, but advanced more runners without suffering from oblique strains and frequent visits to the DL.

Will there ever be another Nellie Fox? Would today’s pitching prevent him from making contact with the ball? How many PA/SO in today’s game would be considered comparable to Nellie???
