Adam Dunn played 14 seasons in the MLB with the Reds, D’backs, Nationals, White Sox, and Athletics. He hit .237/.364/.490 with 462 homers and 1168 RBI’s. He also had 1631 hits and 1097 runs scored in his career. From 2001-2010 Dunn was a consistent homerun hitter. He hit .250/.381/.521 averaging 40 homers and 99 RBI’s per full season. He also averaged 111 walks and 183 strikeouts. He also managed to hit exactly 40 homers every year from 2005-2008 with the Reds and D’backs.

In 2009-2010 he hit for some solid average nearly hitting .270 twice with his usually output of 40 ish homers. In 2010 he set a personal record of 199 strikeouts. That may have been some foreshadowing as the next season disaster struck. Dunn had one of the worst seasons ever by a hitter who received his amount of playing time.

He hit .159/.292/.277 with only 11 homers in 122 games. While striking out 177 times in 415 at bats. Nearly 50% of the time. By this point Dunn had lost any ability he had of hitting for average. From 2011 to the end of his career he hit .202/.321/.407, pretty abysmal numbers.

In 2012 Dunn had a season where he made fielding irrelevant. During that season Dunn’s three outcomes total was 368 times, meaning that he hit a homer, walked, or struck out 368 times making fielders unnecessary. His three outcomes average was .682, 368/539. Also during that year he nearly broke the record for strikeouts in a season tallying 222 one off of Mark Reynolds 223, 3 years prior. Dunn was a slugger that became a three outcome star.
