-9 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Thursday, September 24, 2026

Ronald Acuña Jr. 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 14% of the time against the kind of pitches Brady Singer throws, compared with 23% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the sinker: Brady Singer throws it 51% of the time, and Ronald Acuña Jr. strikes out 8% of the time against it across 92 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
