STRIKES OUT LESS
Published Saturday, October 3, 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 18% of the time against the kind of pitches Jacob Misiorowski throws, compared with 26% against everyone else — 8 points better. The reason is the four-seam fb: Jacob Misiorowski throws it 63% of the time, and Austin Hays strikes out 18% of the time against it across 17 plate appearances. A season strikeout rate averages every kind of pitcher he has faced, so a matchup like this disappears into it. Based on 75% of what this pitcher throws — he has not faced the rest often enough to measure.
