K rate is strikeouts divided by plate appearances. League average sits around 22%. Hitters above 30% are striking out roughly once every three trips to the plate. K rate is the cleanest single number for "how often does this hitter walk back to the dugout."
High-K hitters are higher-confidence strikeout-prop overs (yes — sportsbooks offer batter K props) and lower-confidence hits and total-bases overs. If our model flags a batter strikeout prop tonight, we cross-check this leaderboard for season context.
