Was Ted Williams a lousy hitter because he whiffed 60% of the time?

Really NOT trying to be anal BUT
in baseball speak ‘whiffed’ is strike out (or was)
Ted Williams had 7706 ABs and struck out 709 times which doesn’t really make it 60%
Like I say, not really trying to be anal but when the Umpire told the pitcher and catcher that when ‘they’ get around to throwing a strike, Mr Williams would let them know.
Yeah, as soon as I clicked “post” I realized the same thing. When Ted’s head is brought out of cryofreeze he’ll doubtless wreak vengeance on my descendants.
