-6 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026
Kyle Schwarber 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 27% of the time against the kind of pitches Dustin May throws, compared with 33% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the sinker: Dustin May throws it 19% of the time, and Kyle Schwarber strikes out 15% of the time against it across 103 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
