Dunn strikes out an awful lot for someone with supposed patience at the plate.
Stuart Brown
He’s swinging at 21.4% of pitches out of the zone this season. League average is 31.1%. That said, his out of the zone contact rate is about 20 percentage points lower than league average.
There’s a lot more rates and percentages to be thrown around here, but basically he’s got a good eye at the plate, but he doesn’t have a good contact rate. He’s currently fifth on the leaderboard of pitches seen per plate appearance.

The number of pitches per PA is going to be an inflated number for player like Dunn. In many situations he isn’t going to see a strike.
Jasonzx3
Which is why he is known as a three outcome player. Strike out- walk- home run.

I prefer the short way of saying it: he whiffs a lot.
