MLBhitter vs arsenal

-11 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Tuesday, September 15, 2026

Michael Conforto 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 Martín Pérez throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the sinker: Martín Pérez throws it 35% of the time, and Michael Conforto strikes out 9% of the time against it across 34 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
