-5 pts

STRIKES OUT LESS

Published Sunday, October 4, 2026

Samad Taylor 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 Logan Henderson throws, compared with 26% against everyone else — 5 points better. The reason is the changeup: Logan Henderson throws it 35% of the time, and Samad Taylor strikes out 18% of the time against it across 11 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it.
