-10 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Sunday, September 20, 2026
Christian Vázquez 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 9% of the time against the kind of pitches Martín Pérez throws, compared with 20% against everyone else — 10 points better. The reason is the sinker: Martín Pérez throws it 35% of the time, and Christian Vázquez strikes out 9% of the time against it across 54 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
