MLBhitter vs arsenal

+9 pts

Ali Sánchez is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 36% of the time against the kind of pitches Jake Bennett throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the sinker: Jake Bennett throws it 25% of the time, and Ali Sánchez strikes out 55% of the time against it across 11 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 59% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
