MLBhitter vs arsenal
-6 pts
STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Friday, October 23, 2026
Brice Turang 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 19% of the time against the kind of pitches Nick Martinez throws, compared with 25% against everyone else — 6 points better. The reason is the cutter: Nick Martinez throws it 22% of the time, and Brice Turang strikes out 12% of the time against it across 43 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
