-6 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Saturday, October 24, 2026

Gary Sánchez 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 15% of the time against the kind of pitches Drew Rasmussen throws, compared with 21% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the cutter: Drew Rasmussen throws it 29% of the time, and Gary Sánchez strikes out 12% of the time against it across 26 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
