MLBhitter vs arsenal
-6 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Tuesday, September 29, 2026
Amed Rosario 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 18% of the time against the kind of pitches Payton Tolle throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the cutter: Payton Tolle throws it 19% of the time, and Amed Rosario strikes out 6% of the time against it across 18 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
