STRAINING : transitive verb : \ ˈstrān-ing  \

Probably not the best description for a ballplayer. Kinda sounds likes he's beyond his limit, and not in a good way.

Batting average .231
Home runs 63
Runs batted in 187

Atlanta Braves (1992)
San Diego Padres (1993–1995)
Detroit Tigers (1996–1997)
Cincinnati Reds (1998)
Fukuoka Daiei Hawks (1999–2000)
