I want to stress that I mentioned the high strike NOT because Bonds was not a good high strike hitter, but Bonds really transformed into a low ball slugger around 2000. Bonds was an excellent high ball hitter in the '90s. He was hard to K. He did not have a flaw as a hitter at least given the parks of his time. Through '98 he already had 99.6 WAR in a league with steroid users, and 289 IBBs in fewer than 1900 games, just 4 short of Aaron's "record" that took almost 3300 games.
