-14 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Sunday, September 20, 2026

Griffin Conine 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 16% of the time against the kind of pitches Walker Buehler throws, compared with 30% against everyone else — 14 points better. The reason is the cutter: Walker Buehler throws it 24% of the time, and Griffin Conine strikes out 4% of the time against it across 26 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 74% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
