MLBhitter vs arsenal

-9 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Saturday, September 26, 2026

Taylor Trammell 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 22% of the time against the kind of pitches Jack Perkins throws, compared with 31% against everyone else — 9 points better. The reason is the cutter: Jack Perkins throws it 15% of the time, and Taylor Trammell strikes out 0% of the time against it across 16 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
