MLBhitter vs arsenal
+9 pts
STRIKES OUT MORE
Published Saturday, September 26, 2026
LaMonte Wade Jr. is a worse strikeout risk than usual tonight, and his season strikeout rate does not show it. He strikes out 33% of the time against the kind of pitches Jack Perkins throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 9 points worse. The reason is the changeup: Jack Perkins throws it 19% of the time, and LaMonte Wade Jr. strikes out 50% of the time against it across 18 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
