STRIKES OUT MORE

Published Friday, September 18, 2026

Luis Torrens is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 28% of the time against the kind of pitches Andrew Painter throws, compared with 21% against everyone else — 8 points worse. The reason is the slider: Andrew Painter throws it 18% of the time, and Luis Torrens strikes out 39% of the time against it across 36 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 67% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
