The ratio of strikeouts to walks in the major leagues reached an all-time record high of 2.67-to-1 in 2014, and research indicates that offenses with poor SO/BB ratios tend to score fewer runs than those with more balanced ratios. Furthermore, because this trend of increasing strikeout rates and decreasing walk rates has continued unabated in recent seasons, it follows that players who can balance the two outcomes will have a higher probability of finding success in the majors.
