+8 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Friday, September 25, 2026
Kyle Isbel is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 30% of the time against the kind of pitches Gavin Williams throws, compared with 22% against everyone else — 8 points worse. The reason is the sweeper: Gavin Williams throws it 28% of the time, and Kyle Isbel strikes out 44% of the time against it across 25 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
