Edmundo Sosa 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 10% of the time against the kind of pitches Tyler Mahle throws, compared with 21% against everyone else — 11 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Tyler Mahle throws it 49% of the time, and Edmundo Sosa strikes out 9% of the time against it across 58 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 65% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
