STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Thursday, September 24, 2026
Austin Hays 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 20% of the time against the kind of pitches Tyler Glasnow throws, compared with 27% against everyone else — 7 points better. The reason is the sinker: Tyler Glasnow throws it 21% of the time, and Austin Hays strikes out 13% 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. Based on 74% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
