STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Enrique Hernández 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 16% of the time against the kind of pitches Rhett Lowder throws, compared with 33% against everyone else — 18 points better. The reason is the sinker: Rhett Lowder throws it 29% of the time, and Enrique Hernández strikes out 0% 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. Based on 77% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
