STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Tuesday, September 22, 2026

Mickey Moniak 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 21% of the time against the kind of pitches Michael Soroka throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the sinker: Michael Soroka throws it 11% of the time, and Mickey Moniak strikes out 7% of the time against it across 62 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 67% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
