Can you walk off the island?

By Tangotiger

I’d like to see the BB and K rate for all leagues around the world.

It turns out that you can, in fact, walk off the island. The league-wide walk rate is a robust 8.3% against a 17.9% K rate. In this tiny sample that means marginally more walks and fewer Ks than the big leagues in 2011.
