He strikes out 13% of the time against the kind of pitches Landen Roupp throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Landen Roupp throws it 34% of the time, and James McCann strikes out 0% of the time against it across 17 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 69% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
