MLBhitter vs arsenal
-5 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Saturday, October 17, 2026
Jo Adell 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 18% of the time against the kind of pitches Nick Martinez throws, compared with 24% against everyone else — 5 points better. The reason is the sinker: Nick Martinez throws it 32% of the time, and Jo Adell strikes out 11% of the time against it across 143 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
