Eugenio Suárez 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 26% of the time against the kind of pitches Randy Vásquez throws, compared with 35% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the sinker: Randy Vásquez throws it 16% of the time, and Eugenio Suárez strikes out 16% of the time against it across 104 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 71% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
