MLBhitter vs arsenal

+8 pts

Mike Trout is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 35% of the time against the kind of pitches Kade Anderson throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 8 points worse. The reason is the slider: Kade Anderson throws it 27% of the time, and Mike Trout strikes out 47% of the time against it across 58 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
