MLBhitter vs arsenal

-9 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Saturday, September 19, 2026

James McCann is a safer bet to put the ball in play tonight than he usually is, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 17% of the time against the kind of pitches Cam Schlittler throws, compared with 26% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the sinker: Cam Schlittler throws it 20% of the time, and James McCann strikes out 5% of the time against it across 21 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
