Brian Navarreto 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 23% of the time against the kind of pitches Jackson Kent throws, compared with 31% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Jackson Kent throws it 41% of the time, and Brian Navarreto strikes out 11% of the time against it across 9 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 64% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
