MLBhitter vs arsenal

+11 pts

Donovan Walton 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 Braydon Fisher throws, compared with 16% against everyone else — 11 points worse. The reason is the slider: Braydon Fisher throws it 49% of the time, and Donovan Walton strikes out 33% of the time against it across 21 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
