MLBhitter vs arsenal
+6 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Monday, October 5, 2026
Randal Grichuk is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 27% of the time against the kind of pitches Gavin Williams throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 6 points worse. The reason is the curveball: Gavin Williams throws it 22% of the time, and Randal Grichuk strikes out 60% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
