MLBhitter vs arsenal

+20 pts

Tyler Stephenson is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 47% of the time against the kind of pitches Kevin Gausman throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 20 points worse. The reason is the splitter: Kevin Gausman throws it 38% of the time, and Tyler Stephenson strikes out 70% of the time against it across 10 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
