100. Juan Samuel- Career: 3.05. Five Consecutive: 2.32. Average: 0.19. Three Highest: 1.88. 10 Highest: 3.47. All-Star Seasons: 0. MVP Seasons: 0
His best season was 1987 with a fWAR of 3.7 and a rWAR of 3.0. His slash line was . 272/.335/.502 with a wOBA of .357. It was his 4th best avg, 4th best OBP, 3rd best slugging percentage and his 4th best wOBA. He finished 13th in the MVP voting that year, which is the highest he ever finished. He fascinated when I was younger because I would look at the back of his baseball card and see that he led the league in strikeouts all the time. I wasn't alive when he was playing at the beginning of his career so I always wondered how he looked playing and I just imagined a guy striking out every third at-bat. He led the league in strikeouts for four consecutive seasons 1984-1987, an accomplishment that deserves some recognition.
